I looked for young teams or teams from smaller schools to highlight their success or potential.  The Watchlist is MOSTLY an extension of the rankings but there is a team or two in each region that made the list for other reasons.","date_added":"Sep 6th 2015, 4:14pm","nest":1,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":363455,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"Paul_Schmitz","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=93325","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Paul-Schmitz.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1781658"},"1385962":{"pb_id":"78809","pb_type":"members","likes":"1","parent_id":"0","pid":"1385962","comment_id":"1385962","member_id":"78809","comment":"I expect that the Shelley Girls, Idaho&#039;s returning 3A State Champions, will make it on this watchlist sooner rather than later.

The 16th place Nike Northwest finisher from last year return their top 6 runners.  They are led by by sophomore Josh Schumacher who finished in the top ten in the Oregon large class 1500 and 3200 as a freshman.  <br \/>\r\nLewis and Clark, WA.  Looking to move up the rankings in Washington if their solid 3200 times on the track can translate to the 5K.  <br \/>\r\nArlington, WA.  5 runners at 10:01 or better in the 3200.             <br \/>\r\nLaramie, WY.  The 3 time defending Large class state champions are looking to dominate boys XC running in Wyoming again this year.  They return 5 of the top 7 on a team that saw their 7th ranked runner score a scant 18 in team scoring at the state meet.  This tough lineup includes Jacob Morgan and Chris Henry, both top 8 finishers in the 3200 and in the state cross country meet last year.  Could this be a team ready to travel to Nike Northwest and take their shot?<br \/>\r\nRocky Mountain HS, ID.  Led by 1600 and 3200 large class champion Michael Slagowski.  The Grizzlies had a good year on the track with 4 runners under 10 in the 3200.        <br \/>\r\nBozeman, MT.  The 4 time defending AA Champion in the state of Montana only looks to get stronger in 2015.  They return their top five from last year and 4 of those five are underclassmen.  If they continue their improvement, they could be in the mix for a Nike berth.  <br \/>\r\nHellgate, MT.  Not only do the Hellgate Knights have an awesome high school name team mascot, they have the best chance in Montana to knock off Bozeman.  After a good season on the track (5 went sub 10:05 in the 3200) this senior dominated team has 6 of their top 7 returning from a team that finished 4th in AA Montana last year.  <br \/>\r\nWest Anchorage, AK.  The 2nd place finishing large school team from Alaska (2nd to Kodiak) is the definition of a team to watch.  They return all 7 of their top runners and none of them will be seniors this year.  Could this be the team that breaks the NXN bidless streak from Alaska? <br \/>\r\nValley Catholic, OR.  Our sleeper pick in the Northwest.  The 4A (of 6) champions in Oregon return 6 of their top 7 on a team that had all 7 runners finish in the top 30 in team score at state.","date_added":"Aug 28th 2015, 12:17am","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":363455,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"i\/no_avatar.png","pb_title":"Paul_Schmitz","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=93325","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Paul-Schmitz.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1781658"}},"last_id":"1385696","url":"comments.php?item_type=news&item_id=363455&item_url=gprofile.php?mgroup_id=89"}
