It's upsetting to me that Kansas, S.Dakota and N.Dakota still run 4k for girls XC while the other 47 states run 5k.
*I realize that 2 other states run less than 5k in their smaller classes but their bigger classes run 5k.
It also puzzles me that boys and girls grow up running the same distances until college and then all of a sudden we create separate distances for men and women in XC. Meanwhile, track and road distances email equal for both genders.
So what the heck is wrong with XC?
