The Strength Of The Southwest
Timpview's Aidan Troutner wasn't the only big finish to come from the Southwest region. Some were surprised when boys side was awarded two at-large teams, but the region proved why they deserved to have four teams there.
The guys from Mountain Vista had a big race to claim a podium spot in third. They were the winners of the Southwest as well. The big surprise came from the Desert Vista boys, who placed eighth with 227 points after finishing fourth in the Southwest.
Springville (UT) High also finished in the top five, scoring 200 points for fifth.
The big turnout for the Southwest region didn't stop there, though, as the girls race was also strong. The Battle Mountain girls made their presence known earning a third-place podium finish in their first ever NXN appearance.
