Analysis: After finishing first in eight races last year, Casey Clinger came out of his Junior XC season undefeated. Clinger won the Utah State XC Championship with the time of 14:52.80, then won NXN Southwest Regional in a time of 14:42.00 and continued by running a 15:03.20 to lead his team to a second place finish and an individual win at NXN 2015.    

Clinger was an animal on the track as well as he was the state runner-up in the 800m, state champ in the 1600 and the state champ in the 3200.  With personal bests of 1:52.92 for 800, 4:05.96 for the mile and 8:50.70 for the 3200, there is doubt Clinger is the heavy favorite to repeat as the national Champion in the 2016 season.
