What's the deal with the Bugtown results? Why are they so fast? The first boy in the varsity race to not get a season or personal best was in 79th. The first girl was in 107th.
One person I knew that ran it with a Garmin got it at 3.0mi. So 1/10 mile short. In the day of Garmin's and smartphones I really don't think this should happen. It is also worth noting that the course was very flat and much of it was on pavement.
Heard from multiple athletes that it was exactly 3.0. Seems easy to avoid in this day and age but it all comes out in the wash at the end of the season anyways.
I would love to see Mountain View be able to challenge CDA down the line.
Also the Boise data is even less perfect then the rest, as Rose City was ridiculously short.
Here are Boise's top 7, with their Rose City time, and then the fastest time outside of Rose City that they have run:
Sheesley - 14:36/15:16 +40s
Knutsen - 15:11/15:47 +36s
Roberts - 15:31/16:23 +52s
McGee - 15:38/16:36 +58s
Bruce - 15:46/16:18 +32s
Fornander - 15:53/16:34 +41s
Hugaboom - 16:04/16:42 +38s
Average time of improvement was 42 seconds, and even if we remove the largest and smallest values which could be considered outliers, we get 41 seconds.

It’s gonna be hard for anyone in Idaho to challenge CDA, for as long as Emry is still coaching.
Rietze will be the only senior on varsity next year (unless they get a senior transfer by any chance), and in addition to the data above, one of their top 3 freshmen Howard isn’t running this fall due to an injury, and someone else posted in this thread that they have about 3 new solid freshmen coming in next year
You can definitely just look at returners and their marks out of the district meet. Here are the top 5 teams that return more than 2 guys- Timberline gets excluded in this scenario.
Obviously some nuance to it, but all these guys ran the same course today. Every team appears to have at least one guy that had a crappy day, so getting caught up in who did what is a moot point.

This is true. The pipeline from NIDP to CDA is not ending anytime soon. CDA will not get the #1 runner for NIDP who took 2nd at nationals last year (Wrestler First), but I am told they will get everyone else from a team that is supposed to challenge for a national title again this year.
I would not be surprised to watch them win 6 straight state titles. Wyatt Carr's senior year could net them NXN.
