  1. (tie) .9927 Seaholm HS, Birmingham, MI

Head Coach: Jeff Devantier (NHSCA Girls National Coach of the Year); Entering the Michigan State Championships against US#1 Grosse Pointe South HS, MI; Seaholm rose to the occasion with a monumental historic effort. The greatest field in over 25-years at the state meet featured three top 10 ranked national teams. Seaholm won in the 3rd fastest team time ever 18:19 behind a masterful 36.9 second 1-5 spread. The only two faster in history were 2000 National Champions Rockford 17:57 and 2012 Grosse Pointe South 18:18. This team produced the 3rd best NHSCA team power score ever (.9927), the only better were '09 F-M (.9970) and '10 F-M (.9999).The team was prepared to compete and registered for NXN Midwest but NXN leaders stepped in and stopped them from competing. In a masterful story the team declares "We are in Noone's Shadow" Seaholm Team: Aubrey Wilberding, Tess Wilberding, Marissa Dobry, Rachel Dadamio, Audrey Belf, Julia Demko, Danielle Bentzley.

Winners of NXN New York with an 18:52 team average (faster than last season) with a masterful 13-second 1-5 spread. Then dominated NXN with a 37-second 1-5 spread and all five scorers in the top 20! This team produced the 3rd best NHSCA team power score ever (.9927), the only better were '09 F-M (.9970) and '10 F-M (.9999).

Ran US#20 all-time 5k team average 18:08 @ Region 8-1 Championships. This team featured the top four 3200 meter runners in US history on one team who also set the NFHS 4x800m national record and were defending Distance Medley and 3200M Relay National Champions.

​​​  5. .9776 Saline HS, Saline, MI

​Head Coach Mike Smith; They would have won all but one Michigan State meet the previous 20-years (2000 US#1 Rockford only was better) but this years meet featured two top 10 nationally ranked teams among them a US#1. This includes multiple top 5 Harrier nationally ranked teams. Returning the entire team for next season, they have the top returning team in Michigan State history.

​Head Coach Jim O'Brien; The Apaches ran all-time best 15:26 team average @ the Apache Invitational and won the CIF Southern Section Championships in a US#2 all-time team average over 3-miles 14:24! Then dominated the CIF Division I State Championships in a #2 all-time team performance 15:24 5k team average before shocking the nation claiming their second NXN team title in three years to claim the consensus #1 national championship.

ARCADIA TEAM: Estevan De La Rosa, Mitchell Pratt, Phillip Rocha, Mahmoud Moussa, Bryan Ngo, Jarrick Wenslow, Josua Gonzalez.

​  2. .9817 American Fork HS, American Fork, UT

  3. .9769 Highland Milford HS, Highland, MI

Milford Team: Brian Kettle, Cody Snavely, Chris Housel, Matt Graves, Kevin Black, Clinton Caddell, Jeffery Field.

​  4. ​.9562 North Central HS, Spokane, WA

​Head Coach Jonathan Knight; Won the WIAA State Championships with 15:47 team average for 5000 meters without top runner Kai Wilmot, then won NXN Northwest without top runner Wilmot.

North Central Team: Kai Wilmot, Tanner Anderson, Keith Williams, Oliver Reed, Austen Frostad, Isaac Kitzan, Nik Taylor.

  ​5. .9495 Christian Brothers Academy, Lincroft, NJ

​Head Coach Tom Heath; The shock heard around the nation, defending national champions CBA loses NXN. Perhaps the greatest prep team in the past 100 years, CBA has rewritten the record books and yet lost the national title at NXN when many, including us, thought they were unbeatable. The first team to ever return five sub 9:15 3200 meter runners is proving this year is the best CBA team ever. Having already set the national record for team average over 5000 meters 15:08 @ Shore Conference Championships they dominated the NJ Group Championships with a Holmdel course record 16:03 team average. CBA Team: Mike McClemens, Billy Bragg, Thomas Rooney, Francis Bogan, Jack Boyle, Joshua Kruppa, Aaron Liberatore.
