Saturday down at WakeMed in Cary will be the Nike Cross Nationals Southeast Regional Championship. Here we will get to see a few Virginia teams and athletes fight for those two automatic spots to NXN. That means only the top two placing teams will make the trip to nationals.
In the girls' race Pine Crest of Florida leads with NC's Weddington and Cuthbertson right now second and third. Cuthbertson though has said they will not be racing their full squad and that really opens things up for Loudoun Valley who enters the meet seeded fourth and very close to Weddington.
Blacksburg enters the meet seeded 9th and were the state runner-ups for Class 4 to Loudoun Valley who looks to be peaking at the perfect time.
In the boys' race it is all Loudoun Valley upfront. They are not only looking to make another trip to NXN but to win a historic third NXN title in a row. They made history as the only team to win two titles in a row on the boys' side and this year they want to make it three with only three returning from a year ago.
Western Albemarle enters the meet seeded third behind Huntsville (AL) and look to make it to NXN for the first time. Also joining them in the hunt is Albemarle, West Springfield, and Grafton who are fighting for top finishes at NXN-SE.
