No one is discussing how 2008 might possibly be better, except you. You bring up stats, and others have brought up more impressive resumes for this year's crop.
Certainly agree with that - boys race should be good, but not epic All-Time good (barring a breakout performance).

No, moron. I'm saying conditions and tactics matter in regards to time in a competitive cross-country race (i.e. last year's NXN race was extremely slow yet featured a very competitive field.)

Are you seriously comparing NXN 2012 to Footlocker 2008 with concern to course conditions?
Sisson ran that time in summer of 2010 not the fall of 2008.

Let me know when anyone in this race runs 15:48 in high school, like the 29th place finisher of the 2008 race did.
Do you honestly think any of the girls from 2008 or Bates could ever beat a marginalized Mary Cain?

Do people honestly think Cain was at full strength last xc season, or that beating Bates in an early season meet is indicative of being faster than her at the end of the season?

Baxter is going to crush the field. She made Cain her ****, and she'll do the same with these inferior runners.
Good luck to all.
I get Cranny's last 200 as 31.5 en route to the win and number 4 all time HS indoor mile. And she had to tuck in a couple of times on the curves because the leader was also running well and fighting her off.

So that video showed a "kick" from Cranny? lol.backkick wrote:jody wrote:http://www.runnerspace.com/vid...ional-2013
Is there a video from Efraimson vs Emma Bates race?
The finish is between 4:33 and 5:00.
And here's one showing Cranny's kick.

Efraimson and Cranny are very similar runners. And that's what makes this race interesting to me. Not just a duel between a front-runner and a kicker but two kickers who will have to watch each other as well as stalk the leader.
it was further away from efraimsons peak than it was from bates' though so I don't get why bates gets the advantage there

Because she lost to Baxter, presumably;)

Why would Cain not have been at full strength last xc season? Just a month or so later, she ran 9:3x for 2-miles.
Cain was at full strength- relative to her previous XC performances. If it had been 5K on a track, she would have won handily. The mud was all the difference that day.

No, it makes no sense to me, either...
