[NOTE: These rankings use pre-conference data. Up-to-date state rankings are available here. Section-by-section rankings are available here. Both can be accessed through the home page.]
After crunching results from more than 50 races, my algorithm has some initial predictions for the Nordic State Meet.
Disclaimer: Some individuals are missing from the database. Due to data-entry errors and other issues, some race results may have been missed entirely. These rankings are only preliminary. (That being said, the algorithm has been predicting conference championship top tens with roughly 90% accuracy, and guessing the places of those top ten finishers to within two places in most cases).
Individuals are listed by their Elo ranking. Teams are listed by their score in a virtual meet with four scorers.
Without further ado, the rankings are below:
