The next best teams are considered as an at-large berth and typically CA does get another qualifier here. The top 5 individuals automatically qualify for NXN but in the past, some runners choose to go the Footlocker route which has more history when it comes to individuals.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-5491875207704918152017-10-23T20:10:48.753-07:002017-10-23T20:10:48.753-07:00How does the CA NXN work?

He ran 14:09 at Woodbridge. I know that is an insanely fast course, but a 14:09 3 mile is insanely fast in any conditions/terrain.<br />Miranda is no longer undefeated. His 15:01 MtSac is a solid time but there have been faster converted times by people lower on the list. I would also consider Sam Lavorato on this list, running 15:08 at MtSac. These two D4 guys should have a nice battle at CCS and also at state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
