What does it take to be varsity at your high school?

to make top 5, sub 16 for the 5k, to make top 7, sub 16:20

How does your school do in your conference/state?

when I was in high school as a freshman, 5th man running 19:52 at the beginning of the season, we ended up winning conference with 5th man running 18:00.

6th/7th didn't seem to matter because were consistent from bottom to top but I think we had a drop-off of a minute or more.

win

5th guy ran 20 min 5k

I was the 7th man, ran 440/10/1630

we were barely a top 10 team in the state. our top 2 guys were 1530 5k guys, so we never really had any top guys in the state

Freshman ~18:00/~19:00(5th/7th), 4th at conference, missed state

Soph ~18:30/~19:00, 5th at conference, missed state

Junior ~17:15/~17:45, 3rd at conference, 5th at state

Senior ~16:45/~17:15, 1st at conference, 2nd at state

Top 7 takes sub 18:45, top 5 is sub 18:30. We are seeded to come in 2nd at state.

17:45 for 7th

16:5x for 6th+

Wow what a transformation!! Was there a change in coaching or the addition of a couple really star freshmen?

Naw, team was really good the year before I got there. Freshman year there were a few decent seniors left but after they graduated it was mostly just my class/grade below progressing.

We have about 60 boys and 40 girls on our team.

Boys: sub 17:30 for 5k

Girls: sub 24:00ish? for 5k

needless to say, our girls don't put in much effort

hmmm to be barely top 10 in your state you mustve either run a realllllly short course when you ran those times, or youre from california, even texas those times would put you better than top 10, much better

A pulse.

It's all different. My school is so small that we have a girl running 26 minute 5k's and she is number 7, so Varisty. But then again another team (not in my league but section) has a 23 something for there 7th person. But I don't doubt that the 7th for other teams are probably sub 19. MVP of our girls team has a 5k of 20:00-21:00 (I've beaten the MVP on girls team a few times ;p)

We didn't have that, we just had one cross country team that was boys and girls, there were 2 girls in it (me and someone else) and everyone else was a guy, so we ran against them. The races weren't set distances so the times weren't standard. We raced once a week on Wednesdays against other high schools.

Ohio division 3

1535,1547,16:03,16:40,16,55,17:06,17:11

At the state meet...not on the current course

Texas private school, maybe 12 boys and 4 girls on our xc team. As you can see, our top 3 are decent but it drops off after that. We usually finish 8th-10th out of 20 schools in our conference (no state meet). Pretty mediocre overall

2- 17:00 senior

3- 17:15 sophomore
