Nike Cross Nationals is a series of regional championship events culminating with the national championship. All high school athletes are invited to compete in the NXN Regional Championships. The top two clubs and top five individuals not on a qualifying club will advance to the National meet. NXR is a great opportunity to see how big the running culture is. This event is optional and not required. In 2019 we had 3 athletes participate; then in 2020 eight athletes elected to virtually race; whereas, this past fall we had twenty athletes step up to the challenge to compete at Nice Cross Heartland Regionals in Sioux Falls, SD.
