Saw a post a while back that professed which states have the best mile / two mile / XC runners. We have a list in WA State called the 15:00 Club that I would like to compare with other states. The list includes All-Time athletes who have either run 15:00 or faster for 5K or whose combined 800m / 1600m / 3200m times add up to 15:00 minutes or less. I'm guessing CA and IN, ILL are going to be tough - so Let the comparisons begin..
