Also the distance will eventually be put up to 5k. If you paid attention to the SEASON and not just the state meet, there are many 5k girls races that take place. A&M for example

I'll believe it when I see it. The UIL is more concerned with making sure 4 football teams from every district make it to the playoffs. What a joke, most districts only have 5-7 teams anyway. So making it to the playoff in football ain't much of anything.

This is the result of the decisions of a few (and a very few) individual meet directors, not the UIL. I agree with a previous poster that the UIL is more interested in generating more revenue by adding a fourth football play off team per district (at this point why not just let them all in) than they ever will be in cross country.

CT is 4k.
given the weather conditions in September in Texas, there is little difference between CT and 4km and Texas and 3200m. Both states are way behind the times and do little to develop distance running in general.

In the words of Ed McMahon: "YES! yes, you are correct, almighty Karnack".
In the words of Jim McMahon: as McMahon puts a finger to his right nostril and blows snot onto a San Diego sportswriter "Excuse me, what was the question?
WORD!
Everything is bigger in Texas? Well not your pansy flake ass cross country race distance. Wimps. You're all wimps. Midgets run faster than Texas girls cross country runners. I bet they are fat, too.
