Our topics:
1. The NIKE NXN was held on December 6, 2025, at Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland, Oregon.
2. The winners were Jackson Spencer, in 15:01.1, and Niwot Boys won the cross-country team title with 61 points!
3. Nataza Dudek won the girls’ race in a very tight race, in 16:50.1 to Blair Bartlett in 16:51.7, with Jaelyn Williams in third in 16:58! Wayzata Girls won the Girls champs race over Niwot!
4. The course was laid out well, and the challenging footing, the mud, the hills, and the tension make for a great race.
5. Ross Krempley asked me about the courses, whether I liked the Portland Horse course, the original course for NXN and now the Glendoveer Golf Course.
6. The USATF races were held after the NXN and the rain stayed away until the women’s senior race!
