DyeStat preseason picks to qualify for NXN: Loudoun Valley VA The Bolles School FL
Current Prediction: Loudoun Valley VA The Bolles School FL
Note: This meet is shaping up to be a near carbon copy of 2017. Loudoun Valley is the projected favorite to not only take home another NXR Southeast title, but back-to-back NXN championships. The Bolles School of Florida is projected to secure a second consecutive runner-up finish at NXR SE and again qualify for Portland. A team from North Carolina is picked to finish third in the Southeast, although this year that team is Weddington instead of Green Hope. The top three Southeast teams have been in those positions since August. Loudoun Valley has been as good as projected and dominated Virgina on its way to a state title. The Bolles School has actually closed the gap between its projection and Loudoun Valley. However, the gap remains and Bolles would need LV to have an off day to come out as the champions. Weddington will need to hold off a strong contingent of teams just behind them, including Cary NC and Severna Park MD, and run close to Bolles in order to secure one of the four coveted at-large bids.

DyeStat preseason picks to qualify for NXN: Blacksburg VA Pine Crest FL
Current Prediction: Marietta GA Auburn AL
Note: The Southeast Region could send two new teams to NXN this year. Marietta GA, Auburn AL and Lawton Chiles FL have never qualified for NXN. And of the regionally ranked North Carolina teams, Cardinal Gibbons and Cuthbertson, only Cardinal Gibbons has made the trip to Portland. This year, there is no team with a high national ranking in the Southeast Region, but the region has great parity. Any of the five teams above could take home the prize Saturday in Cary. Regardless of the winner, it appears there will be at least one first-time NXN qualifier. |
