39 votes • Final resultsIt's been a while! Here's my thoughts on the top Louisiana teams through the first week of October. tumblr.com/highschoolharrier…
Here's a fun bonus rankings on this Thanksgiving week! This is how I would rank the NXN field for boys this year based on their regional finishes. Obviously CA still racing. I gave SW 2 at large spots and one to NW. Also gave one to Belen. Thoughts on at large spots as follows:
For one, I have yet to make sense of how NXN picks their at large teams, so it's not like there is a rubric to follow, but mainly because you have a team who could have a low stick in the single digits at nationals and why wouldn't Nike want that?

Sad times for the sport. So many great memories from this event. Amber Trotter in 2001 and Ritz v Webb v Hall in 2000. Personally competing at the South meet while in high was a great experience. Anyone have a favorite FL memory?
Due to academic commitments this fall I have not been able to work on rankings, but @eric13hill has put together rankings based on season performances which I have retweeted for you guys to check out. We'll know soon what the completed NXN field looks like.
