NXN Midwest Individuals History

Continuing our look at the Fastest Regional Times:

Top 20 Times in NXN Midwest Regional History.

I'll be doing this for almost every regional this year (because I haven't been doing ratings all year long for the entire nation, and this gives an idea of how the regional courses compare - and it is good info to put out there). The only ones I might not be doing it for are regionals that haven't been mostly the same course over the last nine years, although maybe I will (we will see).

I will also include a quick note about how these Top 20 athletes have done at NXN compard to a set standard for cross-region comparison (the #11 scoring runner at NXN - picked because I figured the median #1 runner on teams is more or less going to be fairly consistent, and because I needed something quick and easy to calcuate for). This will give an example of how the courses generally compare to eachother (in good weather years) beyond my ratings system or Meylan's speed ratings over at Tullyrunners.com. Consider the comparisons ROUGH, but good enough to give an idea of the differences.
