A state doesn't "produce" HS distance runners. HS distance runners are produced by other factors within a state. Population, resources, competitive environment, coaching, etc. are what determine the quantity and quality of the runners. These factors are distributed disproportionately by population density and even moreso by geography. So there's really no practical reason to figure out from which states the best runners come.


I would look at the attendance of every state cross country meet and that will give you an idea.

Of course the largest populated states like California, Texas, and New York pump out great runners. Florida sure doesn't.

Colorado doesn't either despite being at altitude. The midwest (Illinois, Michigan, Ohio mainly) probably has produced the most Olympic Trials qualifiers in distance running other than Cali.
