Below you'll find our patented (okay, not really) links to all the important Minnesota results from a busy weekend of cross country racing.
NXN Heartland ... We previewed the D1 and D3 meets earlier today (see below), so here we'll touch on the Minnesota prospects at tomorrow's Nike Cross Nationals Heartland Region to be held in Sioux Fall, South Dakota. Two teams and five individuals will qualify for NXN National Finals December 6 in Portland, Oregon.
The folks at Dyestat have a nice preview page for the meet HERE.
Minnesota team favorites include Class AA boys and girls' champions Wayzata and Eden Prairie, respectively, both of whom are ranked #2 in the Heartland. Also with a chance to place high are the #3-ranked Eden Prairie boys, the Class AA runners-up, and #9 Edina boys, the unlucky 3rd place team in Section 6AA.
In girls' competition, #4-ranked Lakeville North, the Class AA runner-up and the only other Heartland-ranked team from the State, isn't entered in the meet.
Individually, Class AA boys' champ Lukas Gemar and Grand Rapids exchange student Jakub Zevic -- who wasn't allowed to compete in varsity competition by the MSHSL -- lead the Minnesota charge in the boys' race. Class AA girls' champ Cassie Opitz and runner-up Claire Guidinger should pace the North Star State girls.
