Mountain Vista's Girls (CO)
The Golden Eagles could be another team with a lot of potential at NXN. Returning after a 13th-place performance in 2016, Mountain Vista is one of those teams who could succeed by virtue of its region's depth.
Nationally ranked all year, the Golden Eagles, ranked No. 13 in the Flo50 national rankings, were ultimately upset by Battle Mountain (CO) at NXR Southwest, but they have the requisite talent and form to be able to challenge some of NXN's best.
Perhaps the team's best performance came at the Class 5A championships in Colorado, where the team scored 30 points behind an 79-second compression and 18:43 average.
The Golden Eagles logged their top four inside the top five, including lead runner and sophomore Jenna Fitzsimmons. And better yet, the program's top five will all be back next season.
Junior Caroline Eck, sophomores Sarah O'Sullivan and Madison Reed and junior Makenna Anderson make up the team's scoring unit.
