Loveland girls may also be in the mix. I expected them to run a little closer to East at the District meet but it appears that one of their top runners did not compete. Hopefully she just rested and isn't injured.Girls:
1. Mason
2. Lakota East
3. Lebanon

I think that's probably the way they'll finish, other than I think X will beat West. Mason girls don't have an elite runner like last year but they have a lot of fast girls in a really tight pack 1-7.Don't know much about anything but DI, but my view:

1. Mason

5. Beavercreek
6. Oak Hills
Boys:
1. Lakota West
2. St. X (very, very close race for 1-2 IMHO).

Down on the floodplain it can also get fairly windy. It's almost like being in a tunnel. The wind will also help dry things up a bit.Troy will get 2+ inches of rain today, but dry all day tomorrow so hopefully we won't see any actual flooding.
I expect the D1 races at the end of the day to be quite slow and muddy though.
Is Madeira capable of contending for a spot? I haven't followed XC very closely this season, particularly D2 & D3, but Madeira usually has a decent side and I would think that they're probably around where Badin & McNick are.D2 Boys

It seems that the condition of the Troy course, and if it will be flooded or sloppy, is a perennial discussion. Rather than worry about this every year, could the site just be elsewhere? I know that discussion often comes up also. Troy is very spectator friendly but it should be about the runners and not the spectators.
I would think that Cedarville or the Clark County Fairgrounds would both be viable regional sites. If the regional site were to be Cedarville, move that district somewhere else - perhaps to the Clark County Fairgrounds. Indian Riffle Park would also make a good district course. Why was the Miami Valley Tech Center in Clayton discontinued as a district site? I know that I heard it somewhere before but I don't remember. Was the land sold?
Also, is there ever any discussion about what could be done if the course did become flooded and unusable. Is there a contingency plan?

That's too bad...I wonder if he'll be able to compete as an individual? The team wasn't going to make the state meet, but he'd have a good chance of qualifying on his own.Walnut Hills Boys team will not be competing now at Troy regional. Pulled out today with unforeseen circumstances. Their number 1 ran 15:41 last week to finish 4th.

I’ve heard that parts of it are underwater under the bridge. It didn’t sound good.Any report on the course conditions?
Any word on a course adjustment?We ran the course today. Under bridge pretty much under water. Part past bridge, on the turn, had some standing water. Rest of course is in great shape. Levy part is solid footing. Didn’t feel soft at all. Lower part by finish line has no standing water.

Will be interesting to see if West can regroup at the state meet, they didn’t get the same type of performance as they did at districts. Last year X won regionals pretty convincingly and then was really pushed by Mason, let’s hope history repeats itself and we see a great state meet.Don't know much about anything but DI, but my view:
