Watchout's Ratings: What they mean

I try to remind people every once in a while of what these ratings mean. Used to be, I would explain it on the Dyestat forums rather than here, but since that forum is closed down this is really the only place where I'm going to talk much about XC. I probably should have done this earlier this year, but it's a good topic to cover regardless:

What do these abstract ratings mean?

Let's put them into track terms. Here's a quick chart of what several ratings would be for a 3200m and 3k time on a track (at sea-level). Do keep in mind, though, that comparing across different events is tricky: some athletes are better at XC than they are at the mile or 2 mile on the track compared to their peers.

Rating = 3200m - 3000m

215 =   8:30.45 -   7:55.45 | 170 =   9:51.04 -   9:10.52 | 125 = 11:11.64 - 10:25.60
212 =   8:35.82 -   8:00.46 | 167 =   9:56.42 -   9:15.53 | 122 = 11:17.01 - 10:30.60

It usually takes a low/mid 190's to qualify as an individual for either national meet on the boys side.
It usually takes a low/mid 140's to qualify as an individual for either national meet on the girls side.

It usually takes a mid/high 170's (average) to qualify as an At-Large team for NXN on the boys side.
It usually takes a low/mid 120's (average) to qualify as an At-Large team for NXN on the girls side.

It usually takes a mid/high 160's (average) to finish as a Top 10/15 team at NXN-NW on the boys side.
It usually takes a mid/high 100's (average) to finish as a Top 10 team at NXN-NW on the girls side.

note: the fields at NXR do vary - sometimes it will take a low 170's average to place top 12-15 on the boys side, or sometimes a girls team can average low 100's and manage a top 10 finish, so those NXR numbers above are meant as a ROUGH estimate in an "average" year with "average" attendance.

Utah boys: Best in the US once again?

Seems like this is being said every year the last few years, but WOW is that state good this year.


American Fork UT: In my very quick and questionable look at a race involving them this year, I looked at the Viking Invitational (because it was a rare match-up with an out of state power, Dana Hills CA). Everyone knows that AF's top trio this year is insane, but just how good are they? Let's take a step back for a moment.

Casey Clinger is the defending NXN Champion, and likely the top runner in the nation this year. This spring, he won the Arcadia 3200m race (8:50.70) and is the top returner from the Brooks PR 2 mile (8:51.68) where he finished third.

Another of their trio, McKay Johns, was injured for most of last year's XC season after finishing 42nd at NXN as a sophomore. In his short season, he ran 3 races where he significantly improved each time out: #32 at the state meet, #19 at NXN-Southwest and then #31 at NXN Nationals (#10 returner). This spring, he ran a 4:10.37 at the Arcadia mile, good for third place and was the #2 non-senior behind teammate Patrick Parker (4:09.87). He was second to now-graduated Brody Smith (Cody WY, NXN#12 last fall) in the Great Southwest Mile (4:10.70-4:11.20 at altitude). At the Utah State meet, Johns was third in the 1600m (4:12.72) behind Casey Clinger (4:07.52) and now-graduated Logan MacKay of Davis (4:10.65). In the State 3200m race, Johns was second once again to teammate Casey Clinger (9:08.48 to 9:13.41). As he never ran a 3200m at sea-level, it's hard to fairly compare his races at that distance, but his 9:05.52 PR at BYU is probably worth a sub-9 (NCAA adjustments would put it at 8:53.51). Eerily similar story to another recent young prodigy: Kai Wilmot of North Central WA, who along with American Fork have been the top 2 distance programs in the US since 2007, dealt with injury problems throughout his junior and senior seasons before pulling out an inspirational win at NXN in 2012 with standout teammate Tanner Anderson 9 seconds back in third. Could American Fork and McKay Johns duplicate that part of the story and go from injured to NXN Champion with a teammate close behind?

Which brings us to the third part of the AF trio, Patrick Parker. Parker finished top-50 at NXN last fall, and showed even more improvement this spring as he finished seventh at the Adidas Dream Mile (4:06.72) behind six graduated seniors. He ran a PR of 9:04.51 to finish a close second to teammate Casey Clinger at the BYU Invitational (9:02.58 to 9:04.51), which is again hard to compare easily because it is at altitude but NCAA conversions would put it at 8:52.52.

So, American Fork has 3 guys who might be all sub-8:55 guys coming into the year? That's some good front running, but what is their depth like? Their #4 and #5 runners in the 3200m this spring were both freshman: Carson Clinger (10:05.41) and Dalton Brems (10:07.73), both of which would probably be in the 9:50's at sea level. In XC so far, they have been staying around 75 seconds behind their trio... which is GREAT for potential NXN Top-5 finishing individuals.

US#1? Yeah, I'd say so. Without further ado, the estimated ratings at the aforementioned Viking Invitational (200.0 ~ 14:50.79):

1 - 12 - Casey Clinger - 14:43.0 - American Fork UT - 202.6
2 - 12 - McKay Johns - 14:45.0 - American Fork UT - 201.9
3 - 12 - Patrick Parker - 14:48.0 - American Fork UT - 200.9
4 - 12 - Zachary Ericksen - 15:26.0 - Lone Peak UT - 188.1
5 - 12 - Seth Freckleton - 15:34.0 - Lone Peak UT - 185.4
6 - 11 - Justin Hartshorn - 15:50.0 - Lone Peak UT - 180.1
7 - 11 - Jack Landgraf - 15:53.0 - Dana Hills CA - 179.0
8 - 10 - Carson Clinger - 15:59.0 - American Fork UT - 177.0
9 - 10 - Dalton Brems - 16:01.0 - American Fork UT - 176.4
10 - 11 - Josh Ericksen - 16:08.0 - Lone Peak UT - 174.0

That is seriously fast. It may also be overrated by a couple points, but it seems like a good fit (Stansbury close to their Bob Firman races - actually, a slightly lower; girls individuals look about right, the other boys teams look about right). You would think it is going to be hard to unseat American Fork from the top spot if they run like that all year, as that is likely to be 3 runners inside the Top 5-10 overall at NXN with their #4 and #5 placing somewhere near the 60s. Also, fun fact: if they run like that, there is no team that could possibly win in a dual meet (going 1-2-3 is an automatic win in dual meet scoring even if the other team put all 7 runners infront of their #4).

Utah isn't only the story of American Fork, however. And it's not even certain that they are the best.

Davis ran one of the fastest times ever at Eagle Island when they won the Bob Firman Invitational last weekend (North Central WA ran 78:58.3 in 2012 before their #1 Kai Wilmot got injured, Gig Harbor WA ran 79:08.3 in 2013, while Davis ran 79:15.6 last weekend). That is a course tested by multiple NXN Champion squads and some of the best teams in history, and Davis was right up there with their time.

Their ratings from that race:

 9 - 12 - Josh Peters - 15:37.5 - Davis (UT) - 191.1
13 - 12 - Matt Ward - 15:45.2 - Davis (UT) - 188.6
16 - 12 - Jacob Vaughn - 15:47.5 - Davis (UT) - 187.9
24 - 11 - Seth Stromberg - 16:01.0 - Davis (UT) - 183.4
 2 - 12 - Devin Jaster - 16:04.4 - Davis (UT) - 182.3 (JV)
34 - 12 - Brigham Halverson - 16:15.0 - Davis (UT) - 178.8
 7 - 11 - Conner Jones - 16:21.9 - Davis (UT) - 176.5 (JV)

Also in the race were a few other very strong teams and individuals, the teams would likely be among the favorites to finish Top-5 at NXR if they weren't in the ridiculously loaded Southwest regional (Ogden was third and Springville fourth behind Davis and perennial power North Central WA):


1 - 12 - Talon Hull - 15:25.0 - Weber UT - 195.3
2 - 12 - Garrett Barton - 15:28.8 - Ogden UT - 194.0
3 - 12 - Travis Feeny - 15:29.3 - Ogden UT - 193.8
4 - 10 - Grant Gardner - 15:29.7 - Springville UT - 193.7
5 - 11 - Andy Monroe - 15:33.1 - Crater OR - 192.6 (NXN-NW #3 last fall and #20 returner from NXN)


2 - 12 - Garrett Barton - 15:28.8 - Ogden - 194.0
3 - 12 - Travis Feeny - 15:29.3 - Ogden - 193.8
27 - 11 - Christian Warren - 16:08.8 - Ogden - 180.8
75 - 12 - Max Jones - 16:43.5 - Ogden - 169.4
87 - 11 - Ben Keller - 16:49.6 - Ogden - 167.4
103 - 11 - Andrew Blackham - 17:00.0 - Ogden - 164.0
122 - 11 - Alejandro Torres - 17:17.2 - Ogden - 158.3

4 - 10 - Grant Gardner - 15:29.7 - Springville - 193.7
17 - 11 - Brandon Garnica - 15:47.8 - Springville - 187.8
21 - 12 - Haden Penrod - 15:55.8 - Springville - 185.1
79 - 11 - Caleb Garnica - 16:45.8 - Springville - 168.6
81 - 10 - Carter Paxton - 16:46.9 - Springville - 168.3
83 - 12 - Paul Young - 16:47.6 - Springville - 168.1
89 - 10 - Adam Kreiger - 16:50.9 - Springville - 167.0

That same weekend, Timpanogos won the Nike Portland invitational, led by the individual champion who won a duel over a highly ranked runner from Washington (Tibebu Proctor 14:56.0). Their ratings:

 1 - 12 - Joe Benson - 14:54.2 - Timpanogos - 198.0
14 - 11 - Brennan Benson - 15:41.4 - Timpanogos - 182.0
20 - 11 - Ben Berlin - 15:50.1 - Timpanogos - 179.1
23 - 11 - Spencer Robinson - 15:56.9 - Timpanogos - 176.8
33 - 11 - Anthony Ortiz - 16:06.2 - Timpanogos - 173.7
50 - 12 - JT Gardner - 16:24.3 - Timpanogos - 167.5
61 - 11 - Kolten Bramall - 16:31.2 - Timpanogos - 165.2

Oh, and then there was Desert Hills at Woodbridge: 

4 - 12 - Jaiden Melendrez - 14:13.0 - Desert Hills - 192.1
49 - 12 - Spencer Ford - 15:00.6 - Desert Hills - 174.9
54 - 11 - Bryson King - 15:04.9 - Desert Hills - 173.3
96 - 12 - Joshua Gibb - 15:29.7 - Desert Hills - 164.4
114 - 11 - Ethan Ashby - 15:36.3 - Desert Hills - 162.0
15 - 12 - Matt Allred - 15:45.5 - Desert Hills - 158.7
143 - 11 - Tyler Phillips - 15:47.5 - Desert Hills - 158.0

As a freebie, here is a scoring merge of the top 16 SW teams from those meets:

1.  83 Davis UT - Bob Firman ID #1
2.  91 American Fork UT - Viking UT #1
3. 158 Timpanogos UT - Nike Portland OR #1
4. 165 Mountain Vista CO - Woodbridge CA #1
5. 166 Lone Peak UT - Viking UT #2
6. 175 Ogden UT - Bob Firman ID #3
7. 175 Springville UT - Bob Firman ID #4
8. 177 Palmer Ridge CO - Woodbridge CA #2
9. 262 Pine View UT - Bob Firman ID #8
10. 265 Desert Vista AZ - Woodbridge CA #4
11. 272 Skyridge UT - Bob Firman ID #13 w/ #3 making season debut in the D1 race
12. 273 Spanish Fork UT - Bob Firman ID #9
13. 280 Desert Hills UT - Woodbridge CA #7
14. 285 Orem UT - Bob Firman ID #11
15. 301 Riverton UT - Bob Firman ID #14
16. 317 Stansbury UT - Bob Firman ID D1 #2 (the ever-impressive JV squad of Davis was #1)

(Silver Creek CO, Rock Canyon CO and Albuquerque Academy NM would all be among this group as well based on Liberty Bell CO, and I'm sure there are a half dozen others from around the region from other meets, but all 16 of those teams above most certainly belong in the very deep NXN Southwest field)

Also, a look at the top teams from all regions from the notable meets I've taken a look at recently (Bob Firman ID, Woodbridge CA, Mountain West MT, Roy Griak MN, Nike Portland OR, Viking UT):

1.  86 Davis UT - Bob Firman ID #1
2.  95 American Fork UT - Viking UT #1
3. 164 North Central WA - Bob Firman ID #2
4. 168 Timpanogos UT - Nike Portland OR #1
5. 181 Mountain Vista CO - Woodbridge CA #1
6. 184 Lone Peak UT - Viking UT #2
7. 188 Palmer Ridge CO - Woodbridge CA #2
8. 192 Ogden UT - Bob Firman ID #3
9. 194 Springville UT - Bob Firman ID #4
10. 221 Bozeman MT - Mountain West MT #1
11. 226 Crater OR - Bob Firman ID #5
12. 227 Wayzata MN - Roy Griak MN #1
13. 232 Skyline ID - Bob Firman ID #6
14. 235 Great Oak CA - Woodbridge CA #3

It's too bad I haven't gotten a good look at The Woodlands TX or Brentwood TN yet, as I think they are probably US#3/4 right now.

Utah is entering their championship season schedule next week, with their state championship on October 19. It will be interesting to see how the teams and individuals do there, as well as NXN Southwest (and, likely, NXN and/or FLN)

WIAA Allocations posted

WIAA State Allocations were posted recently, with an interesting development: in 3A, the Eastern Regional is no more as there were so few schools that it allowed those districts to "glue" onto the next nearest district, which happens to be the Seattle-area District II. This is good news for XC fans, as it might nearly double the amount of Eastside teams that will be eligible to qualify for state (the GSL and MCC should both send 2 teams to the new regional, although who knows if that is how it will actually work out), although at the same time it will likely mean that a solid KingCo school won't make it to the regional meet. Still, a net win for the state overall.

Whenever I get around to posting a new class leaderboard, I will denote which athletes/teams would advance to state as-ranked. For now, here is a breakdown of the allocations and expected regional alignment:

4A District I = 2
4A District II = 2
4A District III/IV = 8 in 2016, 7 in 2017
4A District V = 1 (Eastern Regional)
4A District VI = 2
4A District VIII = 1 in 2016, 2 in 2017 (Eastern Regional)

3A District I = 4 in 2016, 3 in 2017
3A District II, V and VIII = 7
3A District III/IV = 5 in 2016, 6 in 2017

2A District I/II = 3 in 2016, 4 in 2017
2A District III = 6 in 2016, 5 in 2017
2A District IV = 3
2A District V-VII = 4

1A District I/II = 4 (5 for girls in 2016 only)
1A District III = 1 in 2016, 2 in 2017
1A District IV = 3
1A District V = 3 (4 for boys in 2016)
1A District VI = 1 in 2016, 2 in 2017
1A District VII = 3 in 2016, 2 in 2017

B District I/II Boys = 2 in 2016, 3 in 2017 (for girls, see District IV)
B District IV = 5 for boys; 4 girls in 2016, 3 in 2017 (District I/II combines for girls only)
B District V/VI = 4 boys, 1 girls
B District VII/IX = 5 boys in 2016, 4 boys in 2017; 3 girls in 2016, 4 girls in 2017



EDIT: Unfortunately, the 4A Northwest Regional has gone the way of the dodo... another step backwards.

Northwest Girls Outlook - post Sep. 24 weekend

Now that the biggest weekend in the Northwest season is in the books (Bob Firman, Mountain West and Nike Portland all on the same weekend and among the bigger/better meets of the season), it is probably a good time to start taking a look at how teams might compare to one another. I'll keep this post very simple, as I haven't finished looking at how all the meets compare yet - might update this post at some point, I don't know. However, I will at least post this much to get the rough conversation started.

What teams were the fastest at the major NW meets this weekend?

Here are the ROUGH estimates I have so far for the meets:

14:24.31 Mountain West MT
14:44.46 Nike Portland OR
15:09.44 Bob Firman ID
14:20ish? Meriwether OR
14:45ish? Bellevue WA
15:45ish? Roy Griak MN (out of region, but important for NW girls w/ Mountain View ID)


which would give the following breakdown (NW teams in bold, team averages adjusted to Bob Firman as the standard) -

Tier 1.5: Jackson Hole WY (18:50.48 @ Bob Firman ID), American Fork UT (18:53.32 @ Bob Firman ID)

Tier 2.0: Jesuit OR (18:58.00 @ Bob Firman ID), Davis UT (18:58.02 @ Bob Firman ID), Bozeman MT (18:59.43 // 18:02.88 @ Mountain West MT), Edina MN (19:04.55 // 19:49.30 @ Roy Griak MN)

Tier 2.5: Mountain View ID (19:13.05 // 19:58.14 @ Roy Griak MN), Skyline UT (19:16.20 @ Bob Firman ID), Naperville North IL (19:16.69 // 20:05.04 @ Roy Griak MN)

Tier 3.0: Skyridge UT (19:27.02 @ Bob Firman ID), Sunset OR (19:28.12 // 18:56.04 @ Nike Portland OR), Claremont CA (19:29.36 // 20:15.08 @ Roy Griak MN), Eagle ID (19:29.98 @ Bob Firman ID), Springville UT (19:31.62 @ Bob Firman ID), Pine View UT (19:32.70 @ Bob Firman ID)

Tier 3.5: Billings Senior MT (19:34.85 // 18:36.55 @ Mountain West MT), Timpanogos UT (19:36.62 // 19:04.30 @ Nike Portland OR), Boise ID (19:41.82 @ Bob Firman ID), Johnston IA (19:43.29 // 20:29.56 @ Roy Griak MN), Wayzata MN (19:45.56 // 20:31.92 @ Roy Griak MN), Glacier Peak WA (19:46.71 // 19:14.82 @ Bellevue WA), Weber UT (19:46.80 @ Bob Firman ID), Riverton UT (19:48.54 @ Bob Firman ID), Minneapolis Washburn (19:49.39 // 20:35.90 @ Roy Griak MN), Summit OR (19:49.47 // 19:16.80 @ Nike Portland OR), Madison ID (19:50.52 @ Bob Firman ID), Missoula Hellgate MT (19:50.68 // 18:51.60 @ Mountain West MT), Sheldon OR (19:51.02 // 19:18.31 @ Nike Portland OR), Sioux Falls Lincoln SD (19:51.34 // 20:37.92 @ Roy Griak MN)


Notes:
"Tier 1.5" are teams that could probably be US Top-10 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 2.0" are teams that could probably be US Top-15 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 2.5" are teams that could probably be US Top-35 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 3.0" are teams that could probably be US Top-50 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 3.5" are teams that could probably be NW Top-10 with good races at NXN-NW (if they don't have an excessive spread)

note that just because a team made the cut for a higher tier doesn't mean they are a better team - team average is just one measure, and one race on one day does not define how good a team is this season.


Also, for what it's worth... if I were to come up with a NW Top-5 rankings, I would probably have something along the lines of:

1. Jesuit OR = Won Bill Chapman OR; Won Bob Firman ID
2. Bozeman MT = Won Bozeman MT; Won Great Falls MT; Won Mountain West MT
3. Mountain View ID = Won Jimmy Driscoll ID (s/h); Won Tiger/Grizz ID; Second at Roy Griak MN
4. Jackson Hole WY = Won Bear Trap WY (s/h); Second BYU UT; Won Liberty Bell CO; Fourth Bob Firman ID
5. Lewis & Clark WA = Won Highlander WA

Notes:
"Tier 1.0" are teams that could probably be US Top-5 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 2.0" are teams that could probably be US Top-15 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 2.5" are teams that could probably be US Top-35 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 3.0" are teams that could probably be US Top-50 (if they don't have an excessive spread)
"Tier 3.5" are teams that could probably be NW Top-10 with good races at NXN-NW (if they don't have an excessive spread)

note that just because a team made the cut for a higher tier doesn't mean they are a better team - team average is just one measure, and one race on one day does not define how good a team is this season.


Also, for what it's worth... if I were to come up with a NW Top-5 rankings, I would probably have something along the lines of:

1. North Central WA = Won Tracy Walters WA; Second at Bob Firman ID
2. Bozeman MT = Won Bozeman MT; Won Great Falls MT; Won Mountain West MT
3. Crater OR = Won Crusader OR; fifth at Bob Firman ID
4. Skyline ID = Third at Cardinal Classic ID (s/h); Won Tiger/Grizz ID; sixth at Bob Firman ID
5. Bellarmine Prep WA = Won Bellarmine WA (s/h); seventh at Bob Firman ID

initial Ratings Estimate: 200.0 ~ 14:24.31

Summary: In the showdown between Montana's best and many of the Spokane area's best, Bozeman swept the team titles over Lewis & Clark on the boys side (62-122) and over Billings Senior on the girls side (57-141) with some very strong showings in this high caliber meet. Also of significant national note, Tiahna Vladic won the girls race in 17:04.63 after battling with Glacier's Annie Hill through 2 miles. Hill had the advantage at the 2 mile mark, but struggled over the final mile to finish in 12th. Bozeman girls showed strong pack running up front as they claimed the #3-5 positions with Piper Meuwissen (17:35.43), Camila Noe (17:39.80), and Kenenni Wiegand (17:41.75) beating the defending Idaho 4A State Champion Katherine Ruck (17:44.35).
