I am doing a project where I need a lot of data points. If you could list your Detweiller bests from each year, along with the track PRs and summer training leading up to that best, it would really help.
I'll start.
4:48,10:36 on 50 mpw- summer was 55 mpw, ~7:30 avg, ended with 15:42 PR.
Next year
4:41, 10:03 on 56 mpw- summer 70 mpw, ~7 min average, ended with 15:30 PR.
Feel free to go as in depth as you would like. It would really help and also could be interesting to see.
Never ran at the state meet, but I raced that course several times. It is a very fast course, but one of the few that is true to distance, so you'll get a PR, but a believable one.
Senior Year (did not qualify for state my junior year)
15:07 at the peoria high invite
15:37(66th) at state meet-bronchitis
4:29 1600 9:37 3200 2:04 800
60mpw at anywhere from 6 min to 8 min pace with hills/long run weekly during the summer.
I improved by a lot in college though.
14:20 5k
3:58 1500
4:15 mile
29:29 10k
24:40 xc 8k
2:00 800-rarely ran it
If you keep at it you can definitely improve a lot.

Detweiller: 15:00 (really 14:59.. but whatever haha rounding sucks)
Track: 9:47 (ran in XC), 4:30 (got injured after indoor season)
I think some more interesting data points, or comments could include some workouts.
I ran Detweiller several times, but I'm an old enough female that it was a 2.1 mile course back then. I ran the Peoria High Invite several times, our conference and regional was there, and I ran state. My PR was around 12:30. We did quite a bit of mileage and intervals training, but I can't be that detailed because honestly, I don't remember.
What I DO remember is all of us females being pissed off that we couldn't run the 3 mile course the boys did, when we put in plenty enough work to do so.
Detweiller is fast and historic.
