The NXN at-large selection committee has concluded their voting an two Utah teams will be advancing to NIke Cross Nationals as at-large bids. Those bids went out to the Timpanogos High School boys and the Davis High School girls.
Joining Timpanogos on the boys side will be Jurupa Hills (CA), Liverpool (NY), and Sioux Falls Lincoln (SD). Joining Davis on the girls side will be Palatine (IL), La Salle (RI), and Shenendehowa (NY).
This will be the first trip to NXN for the Timpanogos boys and the fourth trip for Davis. This also marks the third consecutive year of participation for Davis.
Also representing Utah at this year's edition of Nike Cross National will be the American Fork boys and girls teams, and the Davis boys. These teams were already assured of advancing by virtue of top-two finishes last Saturday at NXR-SW.
