Boys Race Recap
Utah Sweeps The Individual And Team Titles As NXR Southwest Results Flip
By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor
A Utah sweep in the boys championship race didn't follow the script from NXR Southwest.
Herriman got out well and held tough and won Utah's first Nike Cross Nationals team championship on a wet, muddy track at Glendoveer Golf Course.
And JoJo Jourdon executed his plan and pulled far enough ahead before the sharp hills at the end to hold onto his position and crossed the finish line in15:16.5. Two seconds back was Cameron Todd from Indiana in 15:18.5 and Nathan Neil from Montana in 15:18.6.
"It's my senior year, I've got nothing to lose and I'm just out here to have some fun," Jourdon said.
Jourdon looked back three times in the final stretch but got to the line first.
Pre-race favorite Daniel Simmons finished 13th and moved up eight spots in the final 1,000 meters to get that.
American Fork, the NXR Southwest champions, finished second four the fourth time.
Herriman, which finished behind American Fork at the state meet and the regional, put five scorers across the line with a 27-second compression and scored 83 points. Coach Doug Soles became the first coach to win NXN titles at two different schools and earned a record-tying fifth boys podium.
"Our coach is great coach. He knows how to prepare us for nationals. We trusted the training that we did nd knew that we'd come through the day it mattered," Herriman's Jack Backstrom said.
American Fork scored 100 for second. Carroll was third with 138 points to make the podium after placing 20th last year. Miami Havana was fourth with 187 and Niwot was fifth with 197.
A fourth Southwest team, Riverton of Utah, was ninth.

Anyone else think that start was a bit weird the camera guy was still right next to the runners as they were throwing up hand signals

[@wls1010]

Yup

[@danebailey1291]

They do that at all nxn races

[@agh101]

Looked a little weird to me too how at the end those boys were surprised that it started then. Should have given the boys a few seconds before the race

[@derekwoodschannel589]

Most them were showing the names of their schools or regions on their shirts and most the hand signals were for their schools as well.

[@Nige.]

The hand signs are embarrassing

[@clayanderson4058]

Absolutely the best visual presentation of a XC race I have ever seen!

[@uncleian0549]

Jason Parra ran a great race alone with Josh bell. Sticking with that top group and hanging on for the whole race. Definitely not expected to be the top Cali finishers but ran great races

[@bxg5]

Parra has impressed me since he was a freshman/sophomore. He's never been afraid to run with the best in the country and has progressively become one of them. Notre Dame landed a beast.

[@alancrisp5458]

Great having him in my league. I had the privilege of racing him in the mile at his school

[@moiseomri]

Yes Parra has been running great his entire high school career.

[@ImChrisGonzo1]

This was a great finale for him. Think he may have been injured the beginning of the season or just had a few rough races. He ran real smart and showed lots of bravery here. Bell on the other hand just went beast mode start to finish.

[@cjsingleton6101]

Please refer to Jason by his government name - Pookie Bear

[@mikephalen3162]

You run the course that exists under the conditions that exist. Doesn't matter what your pedigree has been coming into this day. The ones who won were the best runners on this course on this day.

[@KCJbomberFTW]

That’s like saying the car that crossed the line first was the winner

[@jazandriz]

Nice to see Grant Fisher doing those interviews at the end good coverage of this mudbath!

[@runninggirl2765]

Wow! That is quite the course and will make the runners so appreciate the track running this spring.

[@nt3523]

Good job Nathan Neil from Bozeman Montana. Tough kid.

[@kennethlewis3870]

I've watched the Indianapolis kid all yr & wasn't surprised at how well he preformed. At Midwest NXR he set the course record at Levern Gibson, Terre Haute Indiana. He'll be attending Notre Dame. He's a great young man.

[@rodneyaho1530]

Great event with great competitors. Excellent coverage as well. Congratulations to all.

[@njvalueinvestor]

Awesome race, such depth

[@toshman696969]

Wow that was suriously fun to watch and the runners were incredible, never seenanyulike this. Top 10 are a serious talent

[@GusSeifferlein]

the beginning is so hype it makes me wanna run a marathon rn

[@petermecham6581]

Great job Austin Westfall! Amazing race bud

[@reubentang]

Proud of the brothas at Herriman. 3 scoring Juniors… watch out next year

[@calebs3752]

Utah is the future of high school distance running. Jojo Jordan from Olympus placed first, Austin Westfall from Orem took fourth, and of course Herriman and AF went 1 and 2.

[@Potato-mu7nu]

Takes me back to high school. CC has come a long way in popularity. Its exciting.

[@jaredt3150]

Danny Simmons is the best runner in the field but unfortunately got out to a rough start. The messed up course resulted in rough tangents to navigate through whilst passing dozens on top tier runners. Despite all this, he scored 1 point for his team. Anything better would have been about personal accolades only, which was not his priority. Congrats to Jojo and Herriman for their wins.

[@noahmcclellan251]

1 point? do you know anything about XC?

[@emmettbradford8387]

@@noahmcclellan251he was first team finisher the rest were individuals

[@nathansmith6076]

@@noahmcclellan251The question is do you know anything about XC🤔

[@machineofadream]

Are you putting words in his mouth? How does he feel about it? And whose fault is it that he got out to a rough start? I just don't feel like it's appropriate to make excuses on his behalf.

[@kevstreet]

How does he know he is the first team runner? Wouldn’t it be tough to tell from where he was? Were there different singlets for team vs individuals?

[@charliewatkins4571]

I'd be that last guy coming in at 18:57

[@kevonbenson1308]

Thanks for the early post

[@ImChrisGonzo1]

Parra and Bell came thru !!

[@scottperine8027]

Utah rocks!!!

[@williamsmith1451]

next yr's race will be interesting, and im talking about tommy latham

[@lucaklaras5832]

He’s gonna put on a show in track

[@anthonydicianni3509]

Going out too fast is one of the worst things you can do. You get into anaerobic threshold much faster. My best races in college were always going out at pace and then figuring out when tokick based on how much you have left.

[@centeot]

Ive had to race jojo and danny like 6 times this year 😭 truely himbling

[@Jtbrooks09]

Utah lowkey dominated

[@r.deancole4622]

Yes, it definitely was.

Crazy upset race 🔥

16:33 lol the guy gets pulled away

What are some of the runners wearing on their arms?

JAMES PARTLOW BIGGEST FAN!

[@kenoxborrow360]

Thanks for the delayed release. Really sad that nike controls the only live coverage, and subscription required. No way to spotlight a fantastic sport!

[@paul-wq2rd]

I question the use of petroleum exhaust in a hard race as this. It could affect some runners more than others.

[@NateEsq]

What golf course agreed to this?

[@swstudios9374]

Anyone know what happened to noonan? He still did awesome but I just thought he would be up there with the top guys. He beat Josh bell at state so he should’ve been in there with the top 10. He finna win it next year as a senior tho

[@MW5KM]

He fell somewhere at the start, he said on his instagram

[@Rizzzler69601]

Those gang signs at the beginning were crazy 🧊🤟✊🤲🖖💯

Am I wrong or was there 4x the amount of runners than usual

[@davidmcc8727]

I used to run cross country in England back in the 1960s and the courses we ran were way more challenging than that green field

[@anthonycarr6732]

I’ve had lateral left hip pain for over two months now. I just want to be able to run, jog, anything without pain. I would love to be able to run 30 minute 5k road races the rest of my life with no pain.

[@wutduh8697]

I’ve had that before and it’s usually starts with problems in your foot. But another issue I have is a leg length discrepancy. Get yourself checked out

[@chuckchumbucket]

livestream it free next time... >:(

[@danalawrence4473]

Huh- when they said Aden Bandukwala was up to 6th place, I did not see him anywhere in the top runners.

[@owenlewis6214]

I think a lot of runners weren’t getting registered by that mat for some reason. Bandukwala was said to be in 6th but he was 11.5 seconds back from first, and you could see in the race that there were about 40 or 50 runners within 11 seconds of first, so it must’ve just been an error

[@centeot]

Dude i got jojo in my region 😭

[@sklatman1134]

[@mkdesu]

hope that guy that passed out is ok 16:30 ish

[@kloh67]

Emmanuel Perez would have won that. He’s sitting at around 14:37 for 5k at Woodward.

[@user-sx3zz2ef2g]

nah different course so times are slower

[@user-sx3zz2ef2g]

conditions are muddy

[@dxrkerstorms2738]

Did anybody else see that kid get dragged off the field towards the end

[@user-qk7vv3mx1s]

16.28.kid collapses just over line and is dragged away by his arm!🤣 hope he is ok.

[@youtuberuserr]

Is it just me or is the camera angle a little weird, like the cameraman was running or something🥲🤷‍♀️

[@KCJbomberFTW]

I love that California gets their own team😂 so reduculous the amount of sports dominated over there

[@XDtoMe]

FYI, those were individual qualifiers for the California region, the top runners that didn't have qualifying teams. Same with every region.

Didn’t know Hasan commentated cross country

[@jefffawcett]

What a crappy layout to determine a national championship. Those turns are ridiculously tight under the best of conditions and then with it wet it’s just silly. guys wiping out, grabbing railings, come on man lol

incredible to see only white boys but then all marathons or race is won by black athletes…
