Why are all the times so slow?
@Anonymous 12:00 PM The course was 3.3 miles...
They're still slow. Take ~ 1 minute 30 seconds off the top times for the extra .3 and its like 16:47 for the guys and 20:13 for the girls.
I wasn't there, but it seems you weren't either. The course could be a tough, slow course. I don't know.
You asked why the times were slow, I am just providing potential reasons why. You just don't like them.
The course features a rocky twisty trail up hill for first 1200. At the 1.5 mile mark and the 2.5 mile mark there is another fairly steep 150 meter hill. Much of the course is a an out-and-back that has very little easy spectator access, so there is not much external cheering and encouragement available. The time difference between this course and most 3.0 mile courses is about two minutes for the boys and about three minutes for the girls. To wit: course record is 17:50 by Danny Stalters who ran 15:30 at Hayward and 15:46 at Woodward. The course record for girls is now 21:43, held by Jamie Busby of College Park, who has dipped under 19:00 most of the season already.
Also note there is one stat alone that matters in cross country. Time is nice but unique for each race, weather, depth and quality of field, etc.
Place kids... That's what matters!
