Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) (8th)
(USA High School Team Cross Country Championships)
Portland Meadows Race Track, Portland, OR, USA; Saturday, December 3
Distance: 5 km

NOTE: Close team competitions played out on both the boy's and girl's sides here, with favorites Lincroft XC (Christian Brothers Academy, NJ) and Manlius XC (Fayetteville-Manlius, NY) winning. This was the sixth straight NXN Title for Fayetteville-Manlius, coached by Bill Aris. Even though they won by 24 points, Kinetic XC (Saratoga, NY) gave them a tough test. The boy's race was won by only four points, as Lincroft beat Carroll XC (Southlake Carroll, TX). Individually, Futsum Zeinasellaissie of Indiana and Sarah Baxter of California won comfortably. Baxter, only a sophomore, distanced herself from the chase pack with a mile to go, while Zeinasellaissie cruised to win by 24 seconds. His margin of victory was the largest in the meet's eight years.
