The Glendoveer Golf course is transformed the week prior to the NXN. The course has challenges both observable and experiential.
The Niwot Boys team delivered with 61 points, a meet record low score! Jackson Spencer, the $1 ranked Boys cross-country runner in the U.S. delivered. The point is, he had competition to the very, very end as Yohannes Van DerMeeten battled Jackson to the finish, just two seconds down.
Jackson Spencer had won the NXR Boys race and did it with ease. In Portland, on the Glendoveer course, he won, but he did it the old fashioned way: he earned it.
