24.
Team: Bozeman (MT)
Analysis: Don't count Bozeman out that easily. Despite losing its top runner, Camila Noe, and its fourth, fifth and sixth scorers to graduation, this program will still forge on. After all, Bozeman has been to NXN four out of the last five seasons, so a team like this often reloads rather than rebuilds.
It's important, however, that the team's top returners, juniors Alex Moore and Terra Trom, improve upon the seasons in which they ran in 2017. Moore was Bozeman's second finisher at NXN in 64th-place, while Trom was the squad's third scorer who finished in 69th place. That's where Bozeman will start. From there, experience and history will likely take over.
