NXN Northwest Regional - results & coverage
Girls
Auto Qualifiers:
1. Bozeman (MT), 103 points
2. Summit (OR), 142 points
Potential Wildcards:
3. Sunset (OR), 149 points
PROs: beat Summit, 92 to 103, at Nike Portland Meadows Invitational; only 7 pts behind Summit at NXN NW; had a strong performance in 2015 as they took second at NXN NW and then outperformed NXR champs Bozeman by placing 7th at NXN. This team performs well at nationals.
CONs: When Sunset beat Summit at Nike Portland Meadows, both teams were 2-3 behind Timpanogos, who placed just 15th at NXN SW.
4. Jackson Hole (WY), 160 points

Boys
Auto Qualifiers:
1. Bozeman (MT), 76 points
2. Summit (OR), 98 points
Potential Wildcards:
3. North Central (WA), 148 points
4. Skyline (ID), 181 points
CONs: I don't believe this region will have a wild card selection as third place finisher North Central High finished second to Crater (fifth at NXN NW) at the Border Clash a week after the NXR Meet. State champs in Washington have not really faced any other teams all year. Likewise, Idaho state champs Skyline smoked everyone in their state but they have just raced locally. No wins over ranked programs.
