Anybody at Clovis yesterday? Times seem crazy fast, not just for the big names up front, but for some of the small schools I’ve been following all year because I know we’ll race them in November. Their team times seem much better than team times that they would have put up in previous years, based on what they’ve been doing everywhere else.
Wasn’t it just the standard 5K course at Woodward Park?
Dude they’ve been running the exact same course at woodward for 30+ years... it ain’t short.
I know the course, been there 30+ times. Just wondering what was going on with the times being so fast. (Short detour for construction or something like that).
I’ve looked at times from a number of local athletes with whom I’m really familiar and they ran out of their heads yesterday.
Maybe those kids and teams just ran really fast and my team’s in trouble in a few weeks. I don’t know.
Was there yesterday. Course was normal. Conditions were perfect. Was super cool at the time of the varsity races. In the past few years, can't remember a better situation at that course for running fast.

Not sure what you're talking about, but the kids from the southern section ran as expected. Maybe up your way you don't have much competition so when the athletes get to a big meet like Clovis there's a lot more excitement?
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
