Tuohy #1... sanity from milesplit

good to see the whole world hasn't gone crazy

Yeah nxn was the better race, not only 7 of the top 10 but 18 of the top 25

Foot Locker had less than half of the top 25 athletes on the girls side

Glad to see someone else realizes nxn was the better race.

Thank God for this thread! It's like an oasis of sanity in a crazy world!

Problem is dyestat isn't even clear about what they're ranking. Are they ranking best runner of the year or who they think would win a final race

They say it's based off Nationals and regionals but then how can Dudek be number one if she lost her Regional. Milesplit is legit

Dude I want to know who are these guys arguing Foot Locker is somehow the real national championship?

I mean first of all they're both corporate-sponsored races. And Foot Locker has way less Runners and recent years they haven't been getting the best athletes. Is this like a couple of Footlocker employees who just keep posting

Yeah I don't get it either. If you look at all the runners who do Foot Locker in nxn almost every single one does way better at Foot Locker

Obviously nxn is a tougher race with better comp

Is this the same person reposting repeatedly? Cuz it sure reads like it.

Ewert had equivalent performances at both races. Yet sge almost won NXN. Top 5 was way more competitive at Footlocker.

Agree with this list...very interesting, who would have thought Hart or Masciarelli would not be in the final top 10 at the beginning of this year. Nothing negative, and I would still easily rank Hart up there, but just goes to show how useless any predictions are.

Glad to see you have all switched teams and are now fanboys of flotrack/milesplit. It is the greatest online running resource.

Nothing like starting your rationale with an unsupported conclusion. Don't ever go into science, law or engineering.

If you have a hard time finding the right correlation, first draw the line, then plot the dat

Equivalent how? Ewert ran roughly the same time at both, but NXN was a mudpit and FL ran fast. Her speed rating was 163 at NXN vs. 159 at FL. How did you come to this conclusion?

And that's not to mention the consistently overblown FL speed ratings

Ewert ran an equivalent time. Can't be much more straightforward. Methner ran an equivalent time. That is real data, not unsupported conclusions. Dudek's performance was better. The experts at Dyestat recognized that. Maybe the LR guys can put out their end of year rankings. I have a feeling that they may agree with Dyestat and not Milesplit.

You are just rattling of the same bs.

That is quite disrespectful to Dudek.

What FL has that NXN doesn’t is the history of great HS runners that have competed there. The list of greats just for the San Diego course is amazing. Winning on that course puts you in the books with the best HS runners ever.

Of course FL could ultimately fold due the Nike stranglehold, but it will be a great shame when it does.

The fact that you think XC times are comparable shows that you are either not very smart or that you don't understand XC at all. Either way, you need to educate yourself on XC so that you won't make the same mistake in the future.

Milesplit's list is wrong also. Katelynn Hart should be in the top 10. That is not arguable.
