You can't calibrate a wheel accurately, because it can wobble all over the place.
You can try, but using a wheel will never be accurate, and usually way overestimates a course distance.

Your wobble theory is ridiculous.
This is straight for the USATF guidelines of measuring a cross country course:
"For accuracy, measure the course with a calibrated measuring wheel, not with an
automobile or bicycle odometer"
That's for experts like me, not dummies like you.
Even with calibration, which you didn't do

your name tells us everything.

Young could be one of the guys to get a team and individual NXN championship in the same year.

re: Bang Bang

So do you Woodbridge naysayers think Nico Young's 8:40 flat at Arcadia is a short course too? Cause 8:40 is better than 13:39. And for the record, Woodbridge is at least 95% grass/dirt.

Title, and I don’t care what you say about “waaa, the course is short.” He was 4:28 at the first mile and basically alone. Should be a great year for him. Also, Newbery Park’s lineup is a bit insane this year, I believe they took 1 & 2, and their seventh runner was 14:44.
Their track times last spring don't support those type of times. The 5th fastest 3200 runner was around 10:00.

With regard to Great Oak and track times:

They have so many good runners that their JV may have 4:25/9:30s guys who never get the opportunity to go that fast. On paper they will always look slow for this reason and its strength of program plays a huge role. Think about it this way: they have so many guys that their #5 through #8 800 m runners could run in the 7:40s in a 4x8.

Actually only 100-150 m of the course was run on asphalt or concrete, watch the race for yourself.

Also, I've run plenty of "official" courses with GPS including races like Carlsbad 5k (official world record course) and GPS measurements are usually very close to the stated distance (within 0.02 in my experience). So while the rules may not allow for GPS to measure courses, they do accurately do so within a high degree of accuracy in my experience.

HS in CA aren’t allowed to wear spikes in XC
But why? Why not have cross country courses that are actually cross country? Does California have some secret that no other states know

Because it's a rule and that's why. There are all kinds of stupid rules for no reason. I guess they would say safety? Although they can wear them in track season so doesn't make much sense. Up until a few years ago there was a jewelry rule, that athletes couldn't wear any jewelry for some reason. They finally got rid of that stupid rule though. There is no javelin or hammer allowed in CA HS either, but everywhere else you can do it. Also club track in CA can do those as young as 13 and 6 year olds can wear spikes in XC.
