The Unofficial Decoder Ring: 2025 NXR Northwest All-Region Teams (WA Edition)
The 2025 NXR Northwest All-Region teams just dropped, and if you’ve looked at the official list, you’re probably confused.
Instead of listing the high schools we all know and compete against, the official release lists "Club Aliases"—names like Mariners XC, Silverdale Elite, and Adelphia Track Club. Unless you are a deep insider, it’s impossible to tell which Washington programs actually earned the honors.
I fixed it.
I believe athletes deserve recognition under their true colors. We’ve declassified the club data to reveal the actual Washington High School programs behind the aliases.
