yeah, Mead's track marks were absurd. I'm not sure any team would have beaten them head-to-head in (distance races or) cross country, I just don't feel like they can be called the best in cross country when others have better marks on the same course even (Arcadia), let alone seemingly better performances on different courses. It seems like we could call Mead the most talented (judging by their cross country + track times), and Arcadia the team that had the best championship season (team) races.
