Lancers lead the way!
Believe it or not, I put St. Xavier's team in the DII race at state, and they both score 51 points. St. Xavier would have gone 2-4-12-14-19 while Woodridge would have gone 5-6-7-16-17. Amazing!

This makes sense but putting runners into a hypothetical and trying to see there they place based on times is speculative at best. I would believe that being in a field in which the runners are a bit faster would more than likely pull runners along and mean that their placing might be a little higher.And I took where Woodridge times would have fallen in D1 without adjusting other placings, so not exact, and they would have finished 3rd. The depth of finishers in D1 prior to Woodrigde's 5th makes quite a difference. If those two teams run about the same at NXR I assume depth of finishers around 16:00-16:20 will hurt them again.

I guess that I should have clarified my statement a little better. I was actually thinking about if Woodridge ran I the OHSAA D1 race and Lancermania's original post. The D1 & D2 fields should have been about the same size, right.True but on the flip side having more runners around mean having to weave in and out of them and possibly having to go a little wider on turns all of which would increase their race time because of having to run a little extra. These are things a virtual meet can't take into account.
CC Track Fan has a point.I guess that I should have clarified my statement a little better. I was actually thinking about if Woodridge ran I the OHSAA D1 race and Lancermania's original post. The D1 & D2 fields should have been about the same size, right.
I can see how you may have thought that I was referring to NXR.
Terre haute rewards teams that can move in the second half of a race, woodridge is the king of doing that at the state meet, can they do it on a bigger stage? I'm excited to see how all the ohio teams and individuals do!
