Featured Teams:
SE Bubble - St. Xavier KY
St. Xavier of Kentucky, last year's Nike Team Nationals qualifiers took some heavy losses from the 2005 team but are building around front runner Brian Long with a deep squad that has a large and tight back pack. As they move up as a group as will the team's standing in the region. In their opening home invitational at the Tiger Run, St. Xavier won by a 15 point margin over St. Henry with Long leading the way as the race winner in 16:05 on the 5K course. Fellow senior Justin Bowling is another key returnee from that NTN squad as he finished fourth in a time of 16:34. There was a considerable time gap after Bowling, but when the next St. Xavier runner in Kyle Idstein crossed the line in 20th at 17:11, another eight runners from the squad came in during a 25 second and 12 place span. While the pack cleary needs to move up for St. Xavier to return close their 2005 form and make an strong impression on the regional level, the fact that they have that many bodies on the verge of stepping it up to the level they need to fill out a strong five can only be beneficial.
