When they say a HS XC course is 3 miles....is it really 3 miles or is it 3 1600s?

Depends where you are.
Utah? Probably 3 miles.
Illinois? Probably 3x1600s
California? 2x1600s and 1x1500 more often than not.
Who cares? XC should be about racing across the country side. Not a 3 mile race on a grass track.
Hopefully 2.95 to 3.049 miles
3 miles is really just a 4800m
Detweiller gets shorter every year.
