let’s goo charlie! my ex teamate from ohio making us proud! so happy to race with him before i graduated and he moved

[@anibaljrbalt]

Charlie is big and strong. He "stole" that race with 1k to go.... outstanding

[@Bandit---]

Vause is very strong. Congratulations to him and the rest of the runners. Nations Best!

[@RonanRuns]

That mud is CRAZY 😂

[@ObedFernandez-h8u]

Born in New Mexico. I know how tuff these guys can get. The Southwest is rugged. Congratulations to you all.

[@RavishingSailor]

Terrific race and terrific coverage! Thank you for posting. As always Cross country running is very unpredictable and it’s hard to predict the winner especially when you have such a stacked field of rock stars!

[@TheRamenCat_]

Congrats Eyan Turk and Evan Noonan representing California SS

[@adamdorsey3294]

Turk even went down early on

[@ericbredlow8964]

Anyone else see Manny Putz fall in the beginning? Announcers totally missed it, and he was the top returning athlete

[@Ruhan885]

How they missed that was a travesty.

[@kevstreet]

I came here for this comment.

[@johnedwards2051]

I loved racing in conditions like this won a lot of races in horrible conditions brings back good memories

[@fwpii]

Amazing runners. Super impressed that the winner was a bit more built than usual.

[@YourFitnessQuest]

Congrats to all those runners, but that looks miserable. They are shivering like crazy.

[@phinmayer710]

So if the southwest region has the First ,Second, and third NXN teams why do we only get four spots. Side note why doesn’t Utah have their own region 2 of the teams in the top 3 for the past two years have been from Utah. 2 teams in the top 10 have been from Utah for the past 5 years! Seems weird to me

[@DylpiqkleSTier]

Regions are mad e by population. And odds are in three years it will all change again

[@aaroneskelson1799]

Extremely valid point

[@spencerj6557]

Same reason why in the Olympics you only get so many spots per country per sport… so there is representation from everyone. Otherwise you’d see countries like South Korea fielding the whole shooting competitions

[@aaroneskelson1799]

@spencerj6557 ok. This isn't the Olympics and the fastest people should be running at nationals. There were teams from New York. I think the Manhattan team wouldn't even make it into the championship race at NXR Southwest. Their first guy was 17:08 in this race

[@spencerj6557]

@@aaroneskelson1799 then open the field to allows more teams if you want that. But you need to include other regions even if their slower, it’s the same for college and pros

[@hybrant1]

Incredible performance from Caden Leonard who fell down but still got third. 👏

[@johngardner1898]

Great coverage!

There were a lot of falls, might’ve been steorts🤷‍♂️

[@Star11_28-tl6hb]

@judahsundheimer you might be right, watching the videos was like watching a whole ass waterpark

eyan turk my goat

[@michaelthimmesch]

Manny Putz was positioned so well in 7th at 1k, but got tripped when someone fell at 13:15. That's the same corner that Leonard fell in later in the course. Certainly would've been the favorite in the front group had that not happened

[@DylpiqkleSTier]

Not necessarily. Caden Leonard fell and still got 3rd

[@michaelthimmesch]

@@DylpiqkleSTier Losing 50+ spots to the huge pack of runners after 1k is much worse than losing 3 spots to a spread out field at 4k

did someone from Lincroft fall? they went from 80 to 170 points between 2.5k and 3k. seems pretty drastic shift

[@Ruhan885]

Announcers didn't even notice the big fall in the beginning. Took Putz out of contention

[@machineofadream]

New Jersey was under a severe drought this fall. I wonder if that had a more negative impact on the Lincroft team. They likely have no experience this year training in wet conditions. Falls can happen to anyone in these conditions, but still far more likely to happen due to a footing mistake, or taking a risk running through a muddy patch instead of going around.

[@Gasperracing]

This was cross country af

[@torlando1553]

The west has so much more top placers

[@Eric-ru8sp]

This course was in such poor condition with all the falls effecting the race. Would stink to work all year to run into a fall to end your season. What happened to Joe Barrett dropping to 84th.

[@DylpiqkleSTier]

Part of the sport 🤷‍♂️

[@Eric-ru8sp]

@ yeah it is but still stinks that nationals every year has such a large luck factor due to the poor conditions in Oregon in December.

[@jamesdyer9765]

This is true cross country though.most high school races are more like road races.

[@EsperXC]

@@Eric-ru8sp nothing lucky about digging through bad conditions the best 🤷‍♂️

[@CrossCountryRun]

What are you talking about? The conditions are the same for everyone; not like certain people have an advantage. A race is a race and time doesn't really matter here.

[@Night-le9ys]

No mention at all of the fall around the 13:30 min of video by the commentators...completely changed the race...

[@idk-hl1qs]

Idk abt that

[@XxTR1D]

Who even fell? I rewatched multiple times and saw nothing. They likely didn’t see it either.

[@samanderson1650]

I think they might need to consider a different venue. Every year the course is just a muddy mess 😂

[@Whodatandamericasteam]

Caden Leonard wins the race if he doesn’t fall. I would expect him to be the overwhelming favorite next year.

[@DylpiqkleSTier]

You really can’t make that argument. Sometimes falling can help because it gets your adrenaline going again

[@Whodatandamericasteam]

@ Fair enough. I really thought he had a very good thing going and falling caused him to get out of rhythm, but I can’t say that for sure.

[@Lou-jl4ov]

he got smoked.

[@722.fxbien2]

@@Lou-jl4ovHe got 3rd and is literally arguably the greatest runner in the nation, this proved it. You take an awful fall and get back up to hold onto a pack where no else fell like you did, that's strength. Just take a look at his other results too lol, not to mention hes been dominating championship xc racing in texas for 2 years now, and still has one to go

[@notSpencerJackson]

Hey two other juniors finished 7th and 9th around 4ish seconds back from him so I wouldn't say the overwhelming favorite...

[@timothyvandenberg2905]

Getting tired of watching NXN be rained out. Yes, it's gritty & builds character, but come on already, for a National Championship, let's have a real course not in a likely rainy zone in early December. Can't this be moved to SoCal, or Texas, or somewhere that isn't likely to rain in December? Nike: Get some respect for your sport and host this somewhere else for the sake of the kids who earned this privilege to even compete in this race.

[@alexeihensel6257]

Please host somewhere else man. This is unwatchable.
