Can a girl run HS track with boys team

Hey, we are only talking about fast girls running against boys. Nobody is getting hurt in that scenario...

Girls have no business competing vs the guys in any scenario, we are too big too strong for that.

One of my sisters moved a few weeks ago, was she helping us with the frig, the freezer, the pool table, of course not she is a girl that is a mans job, such is the real world.

Why we see all this chatter about this boy vs girl thing a mystery to me.

Katelyn Tuohy wanted to run boys races when she was in HS

Girls have been allowed to compete with boys yes. Why? I don't know as they continually get slaughtered. This world is becoming more backwards as the years progress. Its a sad thing to see really. Boys are aggressive beings by nature and when a girl is put among them it throws off the natural order of things. Just let a girl be a girl and run against girls.

She wouldn't have to be as fast as the fastest guy but faster than the slowest guy. Then she's in the team on merit. Would be interesting to see.

But guys in girls teams - not so much fun.

As a HS asst-principal at a pretty large HS in Ohio, we had a girl compete on a boys team per the state's governing body.

She was state champ in girls golf. She was also an outstanding tennis player but both were spring sports. She was permitted to play tennis in the fall on the boys team. Like I said, she was very good and played #1 or #2 doubles most of the year. The state also allowed a girl to participate in sports that were not offered to them such as football and wrestling although we did not have any during my time there.

Although it was not relevant and I never asked the state association I was curious if our girl played girl's tennis and boys golf, would she be required to use the men's tees like the boys or would she have been legal from the women's tees?

In HS XC and track you have potentially 100 lb or less freshmen boys who have barely begun puberty competing next to older teens who have many inches and dozens of pounds on them. If these horrid injuries you imagine were a possibility they would already be happening constantly in the men's races.

Freshman boys being the lone exception it appears. In all other situations boy v s boy and girl vs girl. A common sense thing.

My point still stands, there are girls (13 apparently) who have run 10.9-11.2, and yes they could in theory help a boys team (the two under 11 could even help a very good boys team), but it is unlikely to ever happen, because as you say it would either take a generational talent on the right team where her mark would make a big difference in a championship for example or a national caliber girl on a bad team. In the second case its still unlikely because there isn't much reason to go after the small improvement of having her on the team when she could do so much for as an individual in the girls division.

Part of the question was whether they could train with the boys team, and the answer to that is obviously yes. It is quite common, actually, for the top girls to train with the boys team.

As I recall Mary Decker was faster than all boys at her high school

Never heard of her. Stop trying to be a name dropper, fagg 🖕. You suck.

I quickly thought about the team I currently coach and I do have an 8th grade female discus thrower who throws it a shade over 30 meters. Since middle school boys throw the same 1kg discus she can be compared with/against the boys and she would be my #3 if she competed on the boys team. And against the schools we compete she would beat every boy except those on my team. Always wanted to see her throw against the boys just to see how they would react. I know our boys have a lot of respect for her.

As for running, it gets tricky I have a couple of distance girls who train with the second-squad boys. I have a 59/2:18/5:25 11th grader and a 5:35/11:25 9th grader and as good as they are against general female competition they don't beat any of my top 4 middle school boys. But they get a lot out of running with the JV and middle school boys.
