Louisiana or Mississippi, but there are some bad areas in Texas and the other southern states too. Hard to train where its humid as all get out and flat.

Yes! Bismarck's teams are always CRAZY good. They always wreck me at our meets. Don't believe me? Look up Jake Leingang. North Dakota is NOT slow.

Are you asking for opinions or facts?
So far all I see are opinions. So why don't any of you unemployed runners dreaming of running for glory actually pull up all the stats and give us the true answer.
Here's my opinion....ALASKA!!!
New Mexico has to be by far the worst. Its an absolute joke. And what is even funnier is the coaches think their crap doesn't stink and know a lot. Wyoming has many more DI recruitable athletes than New Mexico. A guy who runs 10:00 for 2 miles in New Mexico thinks he's a full scholarship athlete.
I looked at top ten lists for 2016 and 2017. Texas and Florida absolute dominate the sprints and Texas has plenty of distance runners this year in the top ten of various events. California has strength throughout. Georgia has quite a few athletes in the sprint leaders, including Devin Dixon at 1:49 last year (he ran 1:45 as a freshman in college this year). Illinois does well. Louisiana had no one in 2016 that I saw but two sprinters this year at 10.22 and 10.27. I was surprised to see a 10.32 sophomore from New Mexico on one of the top ten lists. Rhode Island had two distance runners in the leaders last year. NH had someone. Iowa had a couple, not counting the 400mH. I saw no one from Delaware, I don't recall Montana, Idaho had Slagowski all over the place last year, I didn't see anyone from a bunch of states, including, I think, Nevada, Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma(?), Alaska(?), Hawaii, Mississippi, Vermont, Delaware. I didn't see nearly as many from Oregon as I expected. Not sure if I saw any from WV.

I think that Hawaii is worse but idk. How can New Mexico be bad if the entire state is high in altitude?
TIL track is only three events.
Alaska. The only one fast from ALASKA is ALLIE O :)
Trevor Dunbar is from Alaska. Kodiak of all places. Kodiak.

Rhode Island?
Why would you think that?
RI has had a number of great distance runners over the past few years. Andrew Springer, Nick Ross, Mike Marsella, Jack Salisbury, and DJ Principe.
Also, don't forget that RI has the hammer throwing event as well as Javelin. That in itself puts a lot of states to shame.

Yeah, Seth Hirsch sucked this year. He should've gotten 1st instead of 3rd at Footlocker Nationals. Also, he should've been in the 940s vs 950s in the 3200.
Bismarck is actually looking real good this year. They dominated today’s race and were missing their 9:32 / 10:24 guys. They have only 1 senior so they look even better next year
Nopeeeee….Bishop Hendricken and LaSalle are good
Why are you looking at lists from 5+ years ago?
