Using the adjustments posted on the All-Time Regional posts, it might be interesting to see how the competition is stacking up.
Here are the Top 10 Individuals, and a note on the teams.
Top Ten Boys Individuals:
15:06.0 - Jaret Carpenter - Wayzata MN
15:07.9 - Brody Smith - Cody WY
15:09.8 - Jonathan Davis - Oakwood IL
15:10.2 - Micah Mather - Highland Park MN
15:11.3 - Benjamin Veatch - Carmel IN
15:12.5 - Seth Hirsch - Millard West NE
15:13.1 - Jack Yearian - Bellarmine Prep WA
15:16.4 - Andy Monroe - Crater OR
15:18.5 - Isaac Harding - Rockford MI
15:18.7 - Jack Aho - Grayslake Central IL
Top Ten Girls Individuals:
17:09.5 - Judy Pendergast - Naperville North IL
17:12.0 - Annie Hill - Glacier MT
17:12.8 - Stephanie Jenks - Unattached IA
17:14.8 - Christina Aragon - Billings Senior MT
17:23.7 - Cailie Logue - Girard KS
17:23.9 - Ella Donaghu - Grant OR
17:28.9 - Grace Ping - Cotter MN
17:29.3 - Bethany Hasz - Jefferson - Alexandria MN
17:29.3 - Emma Benner - Forest Lake MN
17:34.1 - Tiahna Vladic - Billings Senior MT
Boys Team Notes:
Hopkins MN looked very strong, clearly the best of last weekend. I know Sandburg is highly ranked, but I haven't looked to see if it was an off race for them or if Hopkins is simply better.
The Northwest #3 and #4 teams, unfortunately, look like the weakest of the Top 4 finishers. Wayzata MN looked a bit stronger than Lyons Township, but but looked solid and are probably going to be in the conversation for an At-Large bid (I would think).
Girls Team Notes:
None of the teams really separated themselves at the top. In fact, in a smaller field, the fourth place team from the Midwest (Carmel IN) looks like the best of the bunch (scoring the 12 teams against eachother, they come out on top over Willmar MN 129-137 with Edina next with 138)... but that's the way it goes sometimes. Pretty much all the teams are bunched together, aside from HL#4 Wayzata and NW#4 Jesuit. HL#3 St. Thomas Aquinas is probably not sitting in very good position, not because they aren't good enough (they are among that bunch), but because the scoring at their regional just had them so far behind. Kind of like some of the Southwest boys teams a few years ago. It's going to be interesting to see who comes out with the At-Large bids on the girls side, though I'm guessing that the #3 teams from NY and SW will get in ahead of any of these teams.

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.

NXN-NW Girls Ratings
An interesting day last Saturday in Boise at the NXN Northwest Regional.
As I said on here before, I thought my rankings were underrating the Montana State meet... but I didn't think it was nearly that drastic. Great racing by the Montanans!
The girls team battle was looking to be pretty close between the top six teams. Would it be the undefeated (against NW teams) Bozeman MT squad, the reigning champions from Camas WA, the Sunset OR team led by a fantastic freshman, the Jesuit OR squad led by a trio of freshmen, the Billings Senior MT squad led by an incredible duo, or Summit OR? Unlike the guys side, it turned out those teams remained the top, although they were joined by a Mountain View ID squad the rebounded well from a disappointing third at their state meet. In the end, Bozeman MT came away with their second NXN Northwest title in three years while Sunset OR hung on for second despite their usual #4 still seemingly recovering from a concussion a month ago.
Annie Hill of Montana spread the field out early on as she raced away with it from the start. As it ended up, three Montana standouts ended up in the top four with Oregon's Ella Donaghu the only one able to break them up. Interestingly, the fifth place finisher is a runner who has decided to go the club route rather than compete for her high school (something that a few other athletes on her Whatcom Tesseract club does as well). For those who weren't sure who she was, Kristen Garcia was the Washington 2A Runner-up finisher last year for Sedro-Woolley, and I had no idea what she was up to since. Apparently, she has been racing quite well in Open races, including a fifth place finish in the Open 6k division at the PNTF Championships on November 1 against quite a few relatively recent College graduates and Club NW mainstays who are all very talented.
Anyways, on to the ratings:

NXN-NW Boys Ratings
An interesting day last Saturday in Boise at the NXN Northwest Regional.
As I said on here before, I thought my rankings were underrating the Montana State meet... but I didn't think it was nearly that drastic. Great racing by the Montanans!
Several of the top projected teams didn't necessarily fare so well. Crater's #1 ended up as their #4 but their #2 had a HUGE day to finish third overall, North Central's strong #2 at state was a bit further back as their #3, Tahoma's team was sick and their top athletes struggled... but Summit OR and Bozeman MT came out as the top two teams in the region even if they weren't perfect either.
The highlight for me (watching the race) was the showdown with Brody Smith and Jack Yearian, as both went after it and put on a great show. And I just have to say again, huge day for Andy Monroe from Crater - going from third place in Oregon 5A and consistently #2 on his team to third place in the entire Northwest. Awesome!
