I can only remember the top 5 and don't have all the exact times, but we finished 3, 4, 5, 9, 13 to win State. I was 9th in 17:39 on a super-hilly course. I think our No. 1 guy was sub 17 and I know our No. 5 was under 18:00.
This was too many years ago and those times might not scare anybody today, but for the day we were stacked. Still, I would take 5 guys (or comparable girls) like that every year on the team I'm currently coaching.
I was our 7th man and had a p.r. of 16:39. We made it to state and choked - got 14th. Glory Days!!!!!

Certainly not what you would call stacked, but for a team with an abysmal history we did pretty well. My team had never advanced past the opening round of the state tournament before my freshman year. Junior year we ran in the state meet, and the team has been there for the past four years now. The turnaround wasn't due to any extraordinary talent, we just got an assistant coach who knew what he was doing. It was really a good situation because our head coach was a good guy and realized the assistant was more knowledgeable, so he let him write the workouts.
dude if you don't get that you need to get off of the running trails and develop a social lifewhat is the one thing most of the snotty high schoolers on this board think about possibly as much as running?oh hell, what is the one thing nearly every guy on this board thinks about, even if married?

I would say pretty stacked but probably not even near the best
Why don't you just name them and the school if you had 6 World Class athletes on your team?
I don't believe you for one second. Good luck finding a high school that had that many good skiers who ran over a 4 year period.

How many miles a week did we run?
it varied. Summer before senior year, maybe 4 of us hit 100miles/week via doubles, i.e. 5 miles every a.m. except Sunday. 20 on Sunday.
we didn't average 100/week, but I was over 80 for July and August for sure.
the guys prone to injury did more like 60/week and skipped the mornings.
Coach Wilkie had some 100 mile/week club t-shirts printed up as a reply to the football team who had t-shirts that were based on how many pounds they could bench press. I still have that shirt.
at the state meet
1454 also a 411/908/152

1648 - didnt train for track
1700 - 435/1000
we got 3rd place at our state meet with those times too, bad year to have a good team
It is my understanding that the Torres brothers were also going to school in the same county. Thats like the sickest H.S. county in xc American history. I know Kirkwood high in St. Louis also had 5 guys under 15 on the track in 71' also had a well stacked 6-10 that was under 15:30. My h.s. I guess was mediocre my freshman yr.
