So it begins...


This is the first of many NXR prediction articles that will be coming your way over the next couple of weeks. This week's article is focused on the Heartland regional meet which takes place on Sunday. The field comprises of teams from Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.


While this region may be having an "off" year as far as nationally competitive squads are concerned, the Heartland region is still full of competitive individuals. In fact, many of those runners could challenge for a national title come December.


Due to our limited amount of time for writing and editing, we won't be offering any written analysis for these NXR prediction articles. We are, however, expanding our predictions to feature the top-20 individuals and the top-10 teams.


Here is who we're high on as we approach Sunday...
