Ranking 10k times minute by minute

16-17 is an elite high schooler? I ran that and couldn't even make my HS team's top 7, win JV conference or finish better than top 75 in my state.

It was discussed - check the above link.

What about 10k performance though ?

Help me with translation. How old is "high schooler"?

(Genuine question. In the UK it would be 11-16 years old, but with the wild and crazy world of US school names it's not easy to understand from across the pond)

14:12 won state last year

US high school is usually from 14-18. Do UK people start university at 16?

Most are in the 14-18 year age. You might get a few 13 year olds competing in XC and a few 19 year olds in track.

For the most part 15s are elite XC times in high school, as long as the course is accurate.

No, I think in England kids that are 17-18 generally go to a sixth form college, then start university at 18.

Yes, in general in England & Wales we'd call "High School" 11-16, sixth form (or "college") 17-18 and university 19-21.

We do a set of national exams typically aged 16 (GCSE) and then the typical academic qualification for University entrance is to sit "A Levels" aged 18 (typically 3 subjects).

So our High School is younger than your High School, and our College is younger than your College (for which I think you mean University!)

nice to see that everyone's staying on topic... :)

26-27: World elites, medal contenders

27-28: National elites

28-29: College elites / 2nd tier pros

29-30: Good College runner, factor in team scoring (most top tier DI)

30-31: Solid College runner

31-32: Win most road 10k's

32-33: Good local runners, road race contenders

33-34: Decent runners, respectable times. Occasionally win local races

34-35: Borderline competitive runners, solid Masters racers

36-39: Meh

40 and slower: Good job, good effort crowd

Ibrahim Jelian - 27:02 PR (National Elite), WC Gold medalist!

Yup

So I usually come in around 56 or 57. I don't see any place on your list for me.

in fairness people aren't staying on topic because it's a stupid question!

Finishing times are, themselves, a ranking. You can give them arbitrary names all you like, it doesn't make much difference.

You would be in the "and slower" part of the list.

Its not that stupid of a question, what wrong providing some sort of classification to finish times.
