The California state meet, a race that brings forth joy, excitement, heartbreak.

With many of the top individuals belonging to highly ranked teams, it will be interesting to see how far down the list we will have to go in order to select the individual NXN qualifiers. The girls are led by Sadie Engelhardt (Ventura HS // SS), who if qualified to a national meet, whether it be Footlocker or NXN, would partake in her fourth cross country nationals race in as many years. Evan Noonan (Dana Hills HS // SS) leads the boys, and after a rather rocky start to his senior cross country year, he still delivered an impressive near sub-15 minute performance a few weeks back.

Keep an eye out for these individuals as they battle for the coveted berths to NXN. Remember, berths are selected once race results are merged across all divisions.
