Roy Halladay, star pitcher for the Blue Jays and Phillies, also ran XC in high school.

This article says he placed third at the Colorado State meet. I've been trying to find some official results, does anyone know of any times or anything? Or is this another rumor of a famous person running fast?

Where does it say that?
Somebody needs to show that to Eric Cressey, a baseball conditioning guy who hates running distance and discourages anyone from doing it.
he is 6'6" and 225. i know he didn't weigh 225 in high school but he had to have been at or around 6'6" and he's not a skinny guy. i have a hard time believing anyone with his frame was a fast xc runner in high school.
He and Olympian discus thrower, Casey Malone, were in the same class. Malone is the throws coach at Colorado. Some big, athletic high schoolers.

Sorry, wrong article.
http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/prospect-lookback-roy-halladay/"Halladay has a prototype pitcher’s body. He’s tall, lanky and flexible—and has plenty of stamina. He once finished third in the Colorado state cross country finals as a senior at Arvada West High."
Of course, this sports writer could be confusing "state cross country finals" with "local dual meet no one cares about".
