This concept is borrowed and inspired from a similar contest on ILXCTF. Essentially, in the 1600m, I’m taking the amount of boys that are sub-5:00 and girls that are sub-6:00, then ranking the amount by school.
Track gives much more of a standard measurement, of course there are 200m/300m indoor facilities and a drastic difference between weather in May vs. March, but universally, one is going to find common goals based on time barriers.
That’s where this informal contest leads. These are pulled off the pdf results. Most names match with those in my XC database. There are a few misspellings that I tried to correct. There are also athletes that didn’t run XC, but are running track. And many speedy middle/elementary schoolers.
For now, I’m listing schools that have 3 or more sub-5/sub-6 athletes. If your school has three and it’s not listed or is missing someone, likely it’s one of those misspellings or database misses, just let me know.
