Just finished my first year of high school cross country. I was a little disappointed with my times but I think I have room to improve. But my real question is what do you think I can can get my 800 time down to this year? My coach wants me to be around 2:05 so I can run with the 4by800. So do you think a 2:05 is reachable?

5k 18:52
Mile 5:12
800 2:15
400 58
If you truly have run a 2:15 prior to high school I think you could achieve your goal of running a 2:05.
Now.... Your 5k time definitely needs some work. Your times show me that you are more of a middle distance runner, so you probably need to get in more weekly mileage in order to drop your 5k time.
I had times super close to yours my freshman year minus the 5k (didn't do xc). I think I ended up with something like a 2:07 800, so its very doable with good coaching and training. Note, I also fracturing my ankle pretty badly in the fall, so you are in with a good shot.
On the side, its usually written as "4x800" ;)
It's definitely doable. I ran a 2:18 and 5:08 going into high school and didn't run cross or indoor (at the time I still played football and bball) and was able to get down to a 2:06 freshman year. I would agree with some other people who've answered you in that you definitely seem like more of a mid distance runner than a cross runner. It won't be a gimme but you definitely can if you work for it
going into high school my times were 2:17 and 4:59 (never ran 400).
My freshman year I ran a 2:05 and 4:37. Didn't run 400.
I'm a soph now, hoping to get below 2:00 and 4:25 this season.
I think it's doable. Put in the work.
