An Early Look At Colorado's Top 2019 NXN Returners

Next year is looking exciting for Colorado, again...

Cole Sprout, Easton Allred, and Connor Ohlson are the No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 returners. Let that sink in - Colorado has three of the top five returners...

And to add to how incredible that already is, also take note that Sprout, Allred, and Ohlson are all 5A, and all in the same region (Region 2). Additionally, Dakota Ridge's Jacob White, and Benjamin Piegat are the No. 21, and No. 25 returners, and Mountain Vista's Seth Rouse and Davis Helmerich, and Dakota Ridge's Ben Morrin are all within the Top 50 returners, and in the same region.

So, in another perspective: Colorado's 5A Region 2 is the most competitive region in the country.

The only non-5A-Region 2 runner in the Top 50 returners is Thompson Valley's Dylan Schubert, who is No. 14.

If NXN were tallying state scores, Colorado would go 1-3-5-14-21, and would be a clear champion. Talk about depth...
