The Neuqua Valley Boys Squad is looking stronger than ever as they have their top four finishers returning for the 2016 XC season. Neuqua Valley finished third in the state of Ilinois last year behind two very strong teams in Lyons Township High School and Sandburg High School. However, at the NXN Midwest Regional Neuqua Valley was able to step up and edge out Lyons Township by ten points. At NXN 2015 the team finished 19th overall.
Neuqua Valley ranks first in the country when you take the teams combine top returning 3 mile times from the 2015 Cross Country Season. With a strong team coming back and a team full of experience at the big dance, there is no doubt Neuqua Valley is a serious contender to win NXN 2016.
