I was inspired for this post after seeing Rich Gonzalez (Prep Cal Track) posting about the 4x800.
In California HS Track and XC we have several things going on that most states don't deal with.
1. Why don't we have a 4x800 relay in track? Rich brought up all the good points so you can go read his stuff on Twitter.
2. Why is our XC State meet so late? 11/26. Makes no sense when you look at the rest of the country.
3. We can't have spikes in XC? Is this seriously more dangerous then discus, SP, Pole Vault, etc?
4. Are there no indoor track opportunities in CA anymore? It's like a different sport and a great opportunity if kids get to do this. I feel like we are missing out on an entire season.
5. Can we please do something about the school size discrepancies for teams at XC State? Why is a school of 2200 enrolled a D1 in SJS but a D2 in SS? Makes the competition at the State level unfair.
What else?
