CHSAA>All other NY sections

Tully runners is an algorithm... Listen to how dumb that sounds. Summarizing every athlete, who all run on different varieties of courses, by using a single algorithm.....

Also, the state meet is one race. 1 sample out of the entire year. and the 3200 was one of the slowest state meets of the freakin decade.. they ran 9;18, with like a 26 last 200. Thats a complete and utter outlier in the data you should be using.

Tully rankings are extremely accurate - and only one CHSAA runner is in the top 18. First CHSAA girl is 58th . This topic us nothing but wishful thinking .

We are only talking about the boys CHSAA. And it's okay, keep using tullyrunners as your argument. I'm gonna keep using actual track times (refer to previous post that wins our argument)- CHSAA don't play around. Now run along to your precious speed ratings, you've wasted enough of our time by even commenting

St. Anthony's and Xavier first and second at Federations. So which one of you wants to start shit talking the CHSAA first? To the guys that said this post was "wishful thinking", you obviously don't know anything about what you're talking about.

Fordham 8th. CHSAA proved their strength today...not that there was anything to prove in the first place

xavier and st.anthonys got 1st and 2nd in a race without FM, Liverpool, east aurora and pittsford mendon. Today didn't prove anything

book your flights to NXN nationals

That's because FM POOL MENDON AND EA r wusses

Alright so heres some good numbers added up the number of runners for each section represented in the top 77(all thats shown) on Tully. 77 is plenty deep in my opinion

Section 1-7

Section 2-8

Section 3-13

Section 4-7

Section 5-10

Section 6-7

Section 11-7

CHS-8

Based on this data CHS is tied for 3rd best section in the state. With 4 other teams right behind it. CHA isn't a powerhouse but it is very good. No ones arguing its not good but to call it the best is idiotic.

SJB got 8th

Guys, lets be honest...

Section X, Class D is where it's at.

CHSAA is a solid second though.

Actually:

1) They don't recruit for XC or T&F.

2) They usually have a shortage of coaches.

3) Often have no or lousy facilities or have to travel to get to them.

Reasons for success: Tradition, good coaching, emphasis on team spirit.

They may not actively recruit but they have an open enrollment. There have been kids on city Catholic schools that live in NJ. A shortage of coaches? Most city public schools have 1 coach only. Poor facilities? The money to train at the armory or Randall's Island and attend meets outside the city is something poorer public schools in the city do not have.

I've always applauded their coaches and traditions and I loved going to the meets they sponsor.
