Does anyone know if/when wisconsinxc.com is going to be back up again? I know there are not any meets until next Friday, but the racing season is 6 days away!

That is correct. He said he does not have time to do it this year. Too bad, as it was a great site and made it so much easier to compare teams. Hopefully he changes his mind, but you have to respect his desire for more time in his life. He has done a ton for Wisconsin High school cross country over the years.

Last year it was about money I believe and the Coaches Association came up with some money at the last minute. This year it appears to be more about having the time to do it, so I don't know if there was a job change or something or just burnout. It was a lot of work.

I would imagine it's mostly just the reality that what he was doing is extremely time-intensive, and spending almost all of your waking hours staring at a computer screen doing the same thing (even if you enjoy what you are doing) is going to be taxing eventually.

That stinks, I really enjoyed looking at that website. I only discovered it last year and it was awesome to look at everyone's best times. I thought it was done by a group of people, not just a single person. I can definitely see that being a TON of work. What is the name of the person who runs wisconsinxc?

There's absolutely no way that was just one person.

You'd be surprised what one dedicated individual can accomplish.
