how many highschoolers run sub 15? 2 or 3? jim rosa, lukas verzbicas, and craig lutz can?

sub 16 is elite in highschool.

Obviously sub 15 is even better, but so few can actually do it that saying "14-15 is elite for most high schoolers" makes it sound like 14's are a much more common occurrence than they actually are.


are we talking 5k XC or track, there is a pretty big difference. In HS I never ran on a really fast course in XC mostly due to hills or weather, so my PR was 16:15, yet I ran 9:29 in track, I'm sure I could have approached 15:30's on the track..

I think the better comparison would be to look at how many HS guys ran whatever a 14:59 equiv for 2 miles would be... maybe like 9:05? counting 32 and 2mi times there were like 60 performances right around there.
