XC National Powerhouses Scouting Report: North Central Boys (WA) MileSplit Staff Aug 28, 2014

7-time qualiifiers for the big dance known as the Nike Cross Nationals, the North Central (WA) boys had an incredible 1-2 punch last year in 2013 NXN individual champ Kai Wilmot and Washington state champ Tanner Anderson, but this year will have to learn to rely less on that front running duo with Wilmot now graduated and look to shore up the back end of their top 5 to be an even greater force. 

XC National Powerhouses Scouting Report: Fort Collins Girls (CO) MileSplit Staff Aug 27, 2014

The Fort Collins girls of Colorado have a great history of success at NXN which should continue under new head coach Mike Callor with previous national finishes of 6th in 2013, 8th in 2012, 6th in 2011, 6th in 2010, 3rd in 2009, 7th in 2008, and 7th in 2007 to recall on. 7 straight trips to nationals and no worse than an 8th place finish. It is an easy guess what will be the worst possible NXN finish for the 2014 Fort Collins squad.
