Nah, Alaska.
Vermont's distance running leaders (according to athletic.net) as of the 2018 outdoor track season are as follows:
800- 1:57.23
1500- 4:03
1600- 4:25.81
Mile- 4:29.27
3000- 8:56
3200- 9:48.36
But the kid with the top 100m mark ran a 10.54 so I don't know

Alaska hits above its weight class, those kids are tough.
Nevada, for sure
The only way that this is fair is to do this by population, so maybe look at top 20 times over the state population of 9-12 graders.
Would be interesting - but I'm not doing the math - to see if there's correlation to geography or societal factors : temperature during the season, altitude, topography where races are held, median household income, median school size.
Do you mean which state has the slowest runner, or which state's fastest runner is slower than the fastest in all the other states?
I assumed it would be some fat southeastern state, then I dug up that 2 of the last 3 Virtual Meet Outdoor National Champions (Auburn and Hoover) came from Alabama.
That seems statistically improbable.
NV is not the best... but definitely not the worst.
My vote is Hawaii
MARYLAND except for centro and ciattei
Worst coaches in the country . They are more concerned with their own resumes. Runners either are burned out by the time they graduate because they run them in 4 races each meet or they think they should be trained like college runners.. Run 5 races throughout the season and the runners get bored and quit.
MIAA is the worst

There's no place like Barrow for a track meet. Today:34 degrees, 20 hours of sunlight, great for a Sunday long run, but the roads end at the end of town.

Hawaii.
Right because one of the most densely talented areas right up with South Florida, Texas, and California, is the slowest state. You are right about coaching though.
This is a size-rated ranking of top 100 in common running events for 2015. Defining slowest is tough but it does show states that did not produce the fastest runners.
So: West Virginia, Hawaii

Common denominator?
Hmmm, W. Va., Full of meth users, Hawaii, pot heads.
Gawd bless 'Mureica.
If we are talking distance running which this site usually is WV isn't going to finish last for sure. The state routinely has guys running sub 16 5ks, 9:20 3200, 4:20 in 1600 which while not elite is a lot better than a lot of the South East's running. For example, Louisiana you don't even have to break 2 in the 800 to win and a 4:40 1600 is going to almost always place you if not win. Haven't checked but im sure states like Mississippi and Hawaii aren't doing any better.
Diego Zarate was in the 1500 final at NCAAs this year as well. McDermott won the Penn Relays mile this year. I know that's cherry picking my argument but to say Maryland is the worst is ludicrous. MIAA produces some solid people. You may have a point about burnout but that doesn't make Maryland worse than Alabama.
