Man, you go to some pretty lame CC meets.

Challenge yourself!
Runner 85 sounds more like you were born in 95. And it sounds like those are things that happened to you not really typical things at a meet.
And I would say any kid who's gonna chill in 3rd the whole race and then kick for an 18:00 win would have been better served with a 16:40 tempo and maybe some extra strides after the race.
Instead you look like some dick who is too good for everyone, and needs to do an extra workout afterwards because that competition wasn't enough of a work out for you.
I coach Jr. High and this is hits close to home!

There's more footballs than people with spikes.
At our local meets if kids take a football or frisbie around they are told, in a very loud and embarrassing manner, to put them away or go home.
When you instantly lose your infatuation for the cutie on your team after having to, out of necessity and lack of alternate options, enter the port-a-john directly after her.
I never felt the same about Kaley after the conference meet that year...
the scent of icy hot and bananas lingers in the air
When every official is well over 75.

Hahaha, this one is my favorite so far. I'd say 99% of the advice I've ever heard during a race is complete nonsense.
"Yes, I know I should catch that guy in front of me. Can't you tell I'm sixteen years old and in the worst pain of my life?"
Not that I ever said any of that, but I probably should've. We high school runners can take ourselves way too seriously sometimes.

At least one person always brings their dog.
There are usually several dogs at every meet. I've even seen them at the state meet.
No one ever brings just a regular old dog to a meet. It is always a large, majestic, well-groomed pure-bred that draws a lot of attention, especially from the girl runners. It is obvious that they're there for their own ego, and to show off their pet.

I've been to hundreds of meets and never seen that.

It's the state meet, and you've never seen a larger conglomerate of nice butts.

- Each group of people can be distinguished because they're wearing the same shirt, in gaudy color combinations, with some kind of motivational quote about "if you haven't puked yet, you're not trying" (few people ever puke so they must all be slackers, right).
- Despite a host of cuties around, the guys are all hanging out together trying to impress each other with made up workout stories and have a mancrush for the dominating winner.
- The dominating winner has a royal blue wool jacket with 100 patches on it.

Where do you live? I've never seen a hs XC team without some diversity.
When you do your strides and everybody gets in a circle so anybody who has to pee can pee in the middle of the field
1. Girls from competing teams Movin' like Bernie to warm down after the race.
2. Neither sex is interested in the others' race.
3. Girls spend more on their Lululemon warm-up suits than your boys spend on and entire outfit of hockey or lacrosse gear.
4. Neglecting to hydrate so as not to have to wait in the porta john line.
5. Kids sharing albuterol asthma inhalers like a hooka pipe.
6. For boys, nearly uniform ectomorphic body type, while the girls are all over the map.
7. Post-race lunch at Cracker Barrel draws more fans than the race itself.
