^These. Your decision should depend on the attractiveness of your date and likelihood of getting some. If both are high, go to prom. If not, run.

Running is for children, cowards and thieves. Are you any of those things?

Niiiice work.

If your date is fat you have a great excuse out of it!

enjoy the prom the state meet is only a meet, there will be others if you run in college. You spent the money, I am assuming you have a date.

Run state. The prom is just a dance that anyone can attend and means nothing. A year from now you will not care about the prom. You put in the hard work to qualify for state so you should run it.

State

You should've did what I did.

Go to prom junior year and bang the prom queen.

Go to state meet senior year, win gold, then bang the female PV champ.

I did go to prom, and I wasn't really even that passionate about running back then, but I would have chosen the state meet if I had to. I know it's cliché, but prom truly is overrated. Dramatic girls make a big deal about it, and desperate guys go along and spend hundreds because they think they have to, and at the end of the day it's just like any other party, except you have to dress up, and no one's old enough to drink, and while your friends are there, so are all the annoying people from your school.

So yeah, don't miss the biggest meet of your high school career for it.

You won't care about the prom 5 years from now. You will care about whether you ran state. As others have said tho, I would try to figure out how to get to the prom late if possible.

Reason enough to miss prom, don't be a girl!

It depends on how how fast you are and how hot your prom date is. If you have a chance to win state, you gotta do it. If you're the type of runner who would be happy just to qualify for state, but your prom date is hot, it would be a better use of your time to score with her.

If, unlike most of the losers on letsrun, you ever grow up to actually have a life, you might come to regret the fact that you invested so much time and energy in running when you could have been getting laid instead. You can jog for the rest of your life, but you're only young enough to bang high school girls once in your life and then that ship sails forever. DO IT NOW NIGGA.

boy: "hey babi gurl i just won states in the two mile"

girl: "k bye"

Actually, you can only run at state once. You can go to boring parties with people whose names you will forget in 10 years any time you want. You can also be with girls hotter and more fun than high school girls the rest of your life - or at least for another 20 or 30 years.

Anyone who wants can go to the prom. It's not an accomplishment and is nothing special. It's nothing to be proud of that you've been to your prom.

vs.

Not everyone can go to state. Not everyone can be all-state. Those are both accomplishments and something special. You should be proud that you can go to state and proud if you make all-state. Those are meaningful accomplishments that people work hard for and it says something about you and the work you have put in to get there.

If it were me, I would do the thing that is special.

The prom is an over rated high school dance. The state meet is a lifetime memory.

Fail.

State meet for sure. This is something that you have earned and have been working years for while anybody can go to prom. Go to the meet. You will probably not care about prom in a few weeks but if you do well at the state meet you will always have that accomplishment.

Unless you are gonna get laid the only answer is the State Meet. I mean do you think that a winner like Galen Rupp would ever pick prom over a track meet? Hell no he would'nt! So do the right thing and run at state!
