And I am sure that the other California programs feel the same way as Corona Santiago does. But the Saugus girls found a way to finish second twice (2007-08) and third once (2010) at Portland Meadows in far more challenging conditions than this year's NXN races at Glendoveer Golf Course. Great Oak and Davis Senior all managed to make the podium from 2014-16 at NXN at Glendoveer in similar conditions. And Buchanan was third last year at Glendoveer. Corona Santiago ran faster historically than all those teams at Woodward Park at the California state meet. Everyone knows if the NXN race was held at the Woodward Park course, the Mt. SAC course, the Woodbridge course or even the John Hunt Park course in Alabama where the Garmin RunningLane Championships are held, that Corona Santiago would have fared better than they did in Oregon, but it wasn't, and thus, the only true elite postseason national team competition of the year decides the final order because it is the only time all the teams raced together. Corona Santiago and other California teams might not think it is fair, but it is the system that is in place until another group or brand develops an alternative in the future.
