Texas HS girls still running 3k for xc - What a joke!

more proof that texas is a state for pussies.

don't mess with texas, my ass. they mess with themselves.

It's not 3k. It's not 3.2k. It's two miles. They run two miles.

It's also Universty Interscholastic League.

3k, 3.2k, 2 miles, University Interscholastic League, pogo tight-ass scrutinizing = wimps.

Sounds like pogo likes limiting the HS girls to the stone age. How about revoking their right to vote when they turn 18?

I'll admit, if they made the girls run 3 miles all the girls on our team would quit. They're so f*ckin' lazy they whine and moan if they have to run longer than 2 miles in practice and on their "long run" they shuffle jog out of sight and then go eat breakfast at a girl's house nearby and shuffle jog back. I'm on the guys team by the way and I run 50-60 miles a week.

Here in Texas we don\'t want our women runnin too far...might spoil their ability to birth babies. And thats all Texan women should be doing.

So texas girls: kick off them spikes and get barefoot and pregnant.

YEE HAW.

and don\'t mess with texas.

And you still want them to stay on the team?

Yes, I admit it's true, but you cannot develop a sport from the BOTTOM up. It makes no frickin' sense. Put the Texas girls up with the rest of the country. 5K - all the way.

Some of the well known coaches in Kansas are pushing for the girls to run 5k. They just moved the large class (6a) up to 4k not long ago & I expect more changes to be made soon.

personally i couldn't care less, none of them ever score any points in track or make it past district in cc

It seems like the TGCA poll gives each school coach the same weighted vote. A school coach from a school with 300 students will have the same voice as a coach from a school with 3,000 students. That isn't truly representative. How about giving the coaches a weighted vote, based on the number of students in their school? That would drastically change the results of the poll, defitnitely for the betterment of the sport.

CT is 4k.

did your dyestat membership get revoked?

(two posts responding to one is classic btw, try to limit comebacks to one)

... the next Tirunesh Dibaba is running 70+mpw.

hey Bean, Let us know then.

Odd, they were running 2 miles for cc when I was in HS, not 3k.

Wisconsin is still 4k too, pathetic.

Yeah, if all states moved up from 2 miles and 4k to 5k, you'd get some girls quitting, for sure. But, within four years it would all be gravy because no girls would be around anymore that remembered racing at those minute distances.

lol our hs girls run 2k where i am...at least the 15 and under ones
