Downers Grove North
Downers Grove North won the deep NXR Midwest with 104 points. But this team doesn't have just one guy at the top. What's going to help them is the team's tight pack; almost every runner is capable of going sub-16 minutes. Based on the team scoring this season, Downers Grove North has only a 17.90 one through five split, which is one of the best entering NXN. What will hurt is the fact that the team average is only 15:52.22, while many teams at the big dance have a faster average. What could also hurt is the squad's lack of a low stick.
