23. North Allegheny (PA)
Analysis: The Tigers return their entire top five from last year's PIAA Class AAA state championship and third-place NXR Northeast team. And what helps North Allegheny's cause is that there's balance between its first to fifth runners, though its runners will have to improve at the top end to solidify themselves as threats to come out of the Northeast region. West Chester Henderson, which finished as runner-ups in that PIAA Class AAA meet and as fourth-place finishers at NXR Northeast, are hot on the Tigers heels and will challenge them throughout the season.
Biggest question: Can the Tigers secure an NXN bid?
This team has the talent to compete on that stage. And in what sometimes is considered a weaker Northeast region, the Tigers will just have to grab it when that opportunity comes.
