NXN History update

Here is a little update on how programs and regions have fared at NXN since regional qualifiers began (2007) based on average points scored (adjusted for teams that haven’t qualified all six years). Note that these numbers are NOT weighted towards more recent years, this is just a simple average… a look including recent trends would also be a valuable tool, and I will probably reference it at some point over the next year.

NXN Ratings finally posted

Finally posted my NXN Ratings (sorry for the delay, took a bit of a break after NXN...)

Check the previous NXN Update posts for more info. (Boys ratings are a bit variable due to the course conditions effect on the race, though the girls results were overall pretty consistent - meaning I feel very good about the girls ratings, but less so on the boys)

To save the data that I had posted earlier regarding regional scoring:



Scoring the top 5 boys from each region:

1. Southwest 75
2. Northwest 78
3. Midwest 108
4. South 121
5. California 137
6. Northeast 140
7. Heartland 157
8. Southeast 201
9. New York 202


Scoring the top 5 girls from each region:

1. New York 83
2. Northwest 84
3. Southwest 96
4. Midwest 102
5. South 103
6. Northeast 141
7. California 159
8. Heartland 161
9. Southeast 198


Which gives us the combined totals of...

1. Northwest 162 (78 Boys + 84 Girls)
2. Southwest 171 (75 Boys + 96 Girls)
3. Midwest 210 (108 Boys + 102 Girls)
4. South 224 (121 Boys + 103 Girls)
5. Northeast 281 (140 Boys + 141 Girls)
6. New York 285 (202 Boys + 83 Girls)
7. California 296 (137 Boys + 159 Girls)
8. Heartland 318 (157 Boys + 161 Girls)
9. Southeast 399 (201 Boys + 198 Girls)
