Tennessee High School

The Tennessee State XC course is blindingly fast. No real hills on it, perfect footing and its only 3 miles. No offense to the kids of TN, but Tennessee is not a strong running state at all.

As coach of Baylor, I somehwat agree, but tell that to Cosey, Gifford, Stockard, and Welsh (still at Dartmouth. Also tell that to my guys who have pledged to run 80s this summer in their quest to put Chattanowhere on the map. Dreams...

C'mon, a thread about TN high school runnning that doesn't mention my man Tray and his superfast buddies from MCMINN COUNTY?!?!?! You know, the kid who came on here predicting he'd lead his team to a #1 national ranking this season, on the way to going 1:47/4:00 during track season. Made for some real entertaining, if phonetically spelled, reading.

sing along with me, Tray...

"We've got high hopes,

stick a needle in your eye hopes..."

How did MCHS end up running this fall?

mcminn ended up winning state in AAA, but they were probly no better than the 3rd best team in the state, maybe 2nd when you put all the teams together. i will say, the tray kid has talent, and alot of it, and mcminn is pretty good, but nowhere close to the crap they talked this summer. not to mention tray isnt even close to being the best soph. in TN. i think you will find out what im talking about come FL south.

by the way, the TN state course is not all that fast. there are hills, areas of sand, a quarter mile stretch of gravel, etc. its far from "blindingly fast". webb is the real deal.

Right now Baylor and McCallie are training together for Footlocker South. We call the enclave "Detente Track Club." The kids aren't old enough to remember the cold war thawing years.

McMinn's coach Tim Smith has done a great job building a program and enthusiasm. They won State against some formerly nationally ranked teams.

I DO wish Tenn would move to 5k distance.

From now to next summer, Webb and Baylor will be in a mileage war: may the best ectomorhs survive !

nah stanford is the real deal, some high school in tennesse is not the real deal.

Question: What is a Tennessee High School?Answer: A Tennessee High School is in actuality a college organized under the laws of the state of Tennessee. We commonly refer to those who attend college in TN as attending a Tennessee High School because the value of such education is about the same as the value of a high school education elsewhere.The kids running in the 15's at this "state" meet are really 19-22 years old.Truth is blinding, while veracity knows not the language of fiction but yet fiction fears the language spoken by veracity; the silver backed glass is loud.

I've been watching the state of Tennessee and they seem to be extremely strong. A team from Knowxville, Webb, claims to have had no base over the summer. They dominated the state with 4 guys under 15:50 and their 5th at 16:14. Their nemesis may come from the same state as well. A Baylor high school team, was beat at state during a rebuilding year, but their returnees look extremly strong with potential 5 under 16 as well and 2 or 3 in the low 15s. Prove me wrong but Tennessee looks really strong, now onto NCAAs

Hemingway exhorted us to write the tuest sentence we know; therfore, yo fail miserably with your bullshit above. Run fast. Die before you slow.

Fuck you up yor gay bung-hole.

Fuck YOU

im blown away by the intelligence in your post. and people like you make fun of TN.

I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to detract from any accomplishments that Tennessee runners have had, but that course is very fast. True, there are hills but short ones that are not particularly steep. and there are not very many. there is also a 600m slight downhill as well as the fact that the course is only 3 miles. That gravel patch really doesn't slow you down much either. There is no shame in having a fast course, because everyone has to run the same course and compete, but the times are deceiving. TN is not a state full of low 15 min. 5K guys.

Dr dre thinks he's sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet and so do all the lame TN bashers
