I saw one link claiming it would be on Flotrack but it is not on their schedule. It looks like there won't be a live stream.
So odd...
Any idea about the LCU livestream? I don't think the meet director has seen the recent posts, they were supposed to post info about it but haven't as of yet...

It is a shame Saratoga Springs can't defend at NXN - this year's squad is faster than last year's.

Yea I saw that, and they also published this

USATF Jr Olympics XC - 12/12/2020 (full race video on USATF.TV)
1 - 16:52.84 - Brooke Rauber
2 - 17:25.34 - Carmen Alder
3 - 17:41.93 - Vanessa Alder (1st in 15-16 group)
4 - 17:59.63 - Hannah Ielfield
The Alder sisters ran the track 5K in SC with Jenna Hutchins on Friday in 16:54 and 17:11.

Interesting. They both cut about 30 seconds from the AAU course to the track while Hutchins cut about 24 seconds from Runninglane to the track. So the 2 courses ran pretty close in difficulty.
The AAU course was demonstrably harder.
I guess if 6 seconds is how you define that.
Cherrypicking.
Rauber has a 16:28 track PR and ran 26 seconds slower at AAU. Those are all of the top runners. That is the opposite of cherrypicking which is selectively picking one or two data points to make a point. Looking at all top 3 is a comprehensive analysis. Those are just facts. Looks like Hutchins would have run about 16 flat at AAU based on the comparisons. But if you have more data points, please provide them for us to analyze.
Off the top of my head the number 2 girl at Runninlane ran over a minute slower at AAU. Meylan evaluated over 20 runners who ran both courses and reached the same conclusion. But you are the Delphi oracle again. Lol.
This is the USATF (not AAU) championship held today on this year's Kentucky state championship course. The course looks legit with a lot of hills and turns and poor footing in places. The lead runner today slipped a few times on the quick downhills.
