Boys 1. Jakub Zivec MN 2. Reed Connor TX 3. Elias Gedyon CA 4. Zach Ornelas TX 5. Joash Osoro ND 6. CJ Brown TX 7. Andrew Colley VA 8. Alex Hatz NY 9. Joe Rosa NJ 10. Tyler Valdes CA
Notes
- Zivec and Brown are each on the third leg of the tough NXN double-double. It will be very tough, but Zivec wins again here
- Connor was just 24th last year here, coming off illness/injury, but has been on a total roll the past month-plus
- And Gedyon ... he was 35th with Loyola last year, but has come incredibly far.
- Osoro won the Heartland NXN meet last year, before the individual qualifying was in place. He passed up Foot Locker this year, too, so he's really dialed in
- Ornelas and Colley will be looking to come back from down races at their regionals
| Girls 1. Stephanie Morgan OH 2. Kaylin Mahoney CA 3. Courtney Chapman NY 4. Chelsey Sveinsson TX 5. Amanda Winslow GA 6. Sarah Andrews TX 7. Danielle Winslow NY 8. Sam Roecker NY 9. Madeline Morgan AL 10. Annamarie Maag OR
Notes - Morgan's effort at NXN Midwest seemed supremely easy; she is totally focused on really putting out a great one here
- There are a good 12-14 really good contenders for the top ten spots that are very tough to pick from
- If Mahoney has overcome her shin splints, look for her to break out with a really good one to lead Saugus hopes
- Likewise, Chapman is coming back from being under the weather last week
- Sveinsson is the only one of the top contenders also running Foot Locker
