Look I am telling you that the course is legit. When you mix hard training with good competition and decent conditions, you have a recipe for fast times.
There are quite a few haters on this thread.
McNeil was in the shape of his life and will challeng the 10000 WR later this spring.
..you're an idiot. cant believe people are even paying attention to you

It's called a troll. And contrary to popular opinion, "troll" and "idiot" are not synonyms.
I just love the American facination with Cross Country 8km and 10km PR's. 99% of American Cross Country Courses are not accurate and more often than not are short.
Why not just focus on where you finished not your time?
McNeil just got destroyed at the Commonwealth Games, placing 8th in 13:47.40 on Oct. 6th. You guys are clueless.
Nice effort by the MSU team!
Why is Lynn Reynolds (UM) listed as FR?
There must have been a positive net wind.
10/10
destroyed? I say 8th place at a pretty big international meet is pretty damn good. Destroyed is not the word I would use. Where did you place at the Commonwealth Games?
Back to the topic, The course was short, end of story. Eastern Washington should do a better job of organizing this meet. It speaks bad of the Big Sky. If you can't run this meet properly, step aside and let others organize it. Not knowing how to measure the course is inexcusable.
I once knew a man who ran 4:00 pace on an XC course in California. That man was great. That man was my father.
Assuming the 8k was about half a mile short, anyone know how short the 5k was (estimate)?
Just to clear everything up (I'm on the team). My coach re - wheeled the course today and the distance was 7.55k i believe he said. The conversion time is about 1:19. So the times are still fast but it was a flat course and great conditions.
Hey you guys, lets talk about how legit Kyle King is. I mean he just tore it up and nobody really predicted it.

Destroyed?! It was tactical you retarded oblivous to track championships idiot! He finished under 20 seconds back to a bunch of guy that have run 12:50 in the 5k!Since he is a collegiate runner thats very very impressive! I would like to see what you would be able to do against the same competition. 8th place?! I think not! mroe like getting lapped.. So shut ur mouth and stop trolling this board.

No means yes mannnn, always. also simon you made a really good point.
Ashenholla, you are the only person who seems to fully grasp all of this
I can't confirm the validity of the course but I can confirm that McNeil ran the following workout 6 days prior to the race:
3*1600 with 2:00 recovery (4:01, 3:58, 4:03)
Obviously this workouts demonstrates that he's in the shape of his life.
