NXN Speed Rating Team Score Preview

Davis girls after a big 2nd place finish by just two points at the California state meet.

The at large selections were announced last night, and the full list of teams is HERE. Now it's time to start looking ahead to Nike Cross Nationals. The first look at the team score preview is based solely off of NXN Regional Performances. The speed rating were taken for each qualifying team from their regional meet, merged, and then re-scored.

Scores are from where the athlete ranks in the merged speed rating results. Total time is meaningless, and "Average" is the team's average place, not time.

An EXTREMELY brief description of speed ratings by NY webmaster Kyle Brazeil:

In short, a speed rating is a number attributed to an XC performance, roughly one point per three seconds, adjusted for overall race quality and depth. Using these numbers, we can compare apples to apples, in terms of XC teams.
