Looking around at these rankings MileSplit compiles at year end, specifically middle school. It looks like some states have times way off from the lead runners. And it looks like only a few states even have middle school and elementary state championship meets. Shocked me that Ohio doesn't have championship at that age. Times coming out of Kentucky look pretty solid. Some of their elementary times beat other states middle school times.
So which state do you think is doing a good job of promoting our future distance runners?
