Really appreciate all of the time and care you put into this and that the NXN order of finish isn't the sole determinant.

And you're right, NXR is an equal opportunity meet: your rankings can soar or plummet due to NXR performance. I guess a part of me dislikes that lol. While I love NXN, I suppose I am a purist and feel state championships are more important. '12 Central Valley was good enough to be a top 40 team who peaked at state in order to win state and had nothing left at NXR. '13 Kamiakin when on was special, like top 15 special if not better (East Regionals, State, Sunfair Inv) but had a bad NXR.","date_added":"Dec 12th 2013, 9:04am","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":198423,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"DontStopPre","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=45158","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/www.runnerspace.com\/profile.php?member_id=45158","pb_wally_id":"1182171"},"933364":{"pb_id":"43715","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"933364","comment_id":"933364","member_id":"43715","comment":"
<\/a>DontStopPre, on , said:<\/p>
\nthose 2 WA teams out of 10? Are those 3 teams
\nclose or would CDA beat them 8 out of 10 times?<\/div><\/div>

\nIt was their #1 girl at their state meet, and I'd say their #2 for the season (she was their #1 all year, but at NXN-NW their top finisher had the best race for the team all year).
\n
\nWith the injured girl included as she ran at state, and the rest of the season? I'd say CdA wins probably 9 times out of 10. They had better front runners than Bellarmine Prep (most days they would probably have had 3 in before BP's #1) and had better depth than Camas (their #5 was better than Camas' #4). Even with their missing runner, they were neck and neck with Camas losing 167-179, and that's with their normal #6 scoring 76 points for them.
