Yep, in WA state top 12 individuals get a medal in xc and top 8 in track.

Yes. 2 state championships in the 4x4, 1 in the open 400, and a 2nd place in the 200m.
My state runs its track meet on a 9-lane track. When I was in the 800m final 25+ years ago, there were 12 guys in the final (3 alleys, 4 to an alley) and 8 got all-state medals. I was 9th.
A few years later they changed to a 9-guy final (one per lane) and ever since all 9 get medals.
Oh well.
10th California D3 XC (mid-sized schools)
state runner-up in the 800m (1:57) in large school division (there were four divisions in my state based on school size). not usually a particularly weak state or division, but race was run in two heats (b/c no prelims -- just a final based on times run that year), and i won the slow heat. then fast heat turned out to be super-tactical -- winner basically did just enough to beat me, and everyone else finished in a clump a second or two back. i think 3rd place came from slow heat too. i was pretty psyched how this came out, because i'd passed on my spot in fast heat in the 1600 (where i was ranked in the top 4 or 5 in the state) so i could run the 4x800 (4x800 and 1600 were almost back-to-back, and i didn't think i could do both). this was about 15 yrs ago though, so not sure if they still do the 2 heat thing.
no
Ay, sir; to be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.
Finished top 20 three times in cross country in a smaller division in NY, there are 5 divisions (classes) when I was in HS, so it was split up a lot.
Also finished 5th and 3rd my Jr. and Sr. years in the 1600m in the smaller of two divisions in track.
For what it's worth, if you go to a smaller school in NY,
It looks like part of my post got cut off above for some reason? The last part should be:
For what it's worth, if you go to a smaller school in NY,
quicker than 16:30 in XC and 4:25 in the 1600 will get you on the podium most years.
I had less than and equal signs in my two previous posts. Everything after the first "less than" carrot did not post, strange.
State Champ in the 1600m indoors and second placer outdoors, via the great state of New Jersey in the Meet of Champions. Do other states not have an All-Group meet of that nature?
NH has its 3 class championships, and from there 12 move on the the Meet of Champions. I went to MOCs my jr year and got 11th. the mighty eric jenkins of oregon won the 1600 there that day (not surprisingly)
Mid 1980s, PA
Indoor - 1 class - 55mHH 5th place medal
Outdoor - AAA - 110mHH 5th place medal
Outdoor - AAA - 300mIH finalist no medal
I managed to get 17th, 16th, 15th, and 14th in my first four individual races at state track.
My senior year I finished 3rd in the 1600 and 5th in the 800. Also had 3rd and 6th in the 4x4 my junior and senior years.
Highest finish in xc was 25th, team finished 2nd.
Slowest division in my state... medals through six individuals in xc and track.

First of all 49.8 is a fast effin time! It's not weak at all (and I think you know that, you're probably digging for compliments). It's obviously not so fast that it's going to win state every year ... but it's still fast.
But you do realize that 49.8 can't be an FAT time don't you? FAT times go to the hundredth...

I was a state champion in the large school division. In total, I have four state medals.

49.80 would be good for like a 6th or 7th place finish most years in the state prelims qualifier in my league
