The problem with reporting errors is that MS does not have a report button like Athletic.net has. If you point out problems through the comments section, there never seems to be a response. <br /><br />The only other quibble I have with the MS database is that they don't use course conversions when comparing 5k and 3m times. Since most of the good teams run at Woodward, it is easier to compare teams based on their 5k times at the same course. But the 3m comparisons are useless since they compare teams running at a tough course like Crystal (yes, they count it as 3m) to a racetrack like Woodbridge. That gives the SS schools a big advantage in the 3M predications. There must be a way to apply a converter so we can get better predictions. Other than that, I love MS and the sorting functions they have. Keep up the good work!

NXN is fairly new, back in the day before NXN when only Footlocker existed and before that Kinney, and was considered the only national championship meet for individuals. Does a list exist of No Cal runners that qualified for Kinney and Foot Locker? It can be said NXN has watered down the sport for individuals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-88808264646420520152018-08-21T06:42:01.953-07:002018-08-21T06:42:01.953-07:00Patrick, thank you for your comment.

It's hard to believe that only two teams have qualified from CCS and NCS TOTAL. <br /><br />Errors like the ones you pointed out do happen but they are very easy to correct if they are pointed out. The reason they happen is that coaches don't always enter their athletes with the same name when entering meets so one athlete will sometimes end up with two profiles. I will go back to see what I can correct from what you mentioned in your comment. If there are others, let me know.Albert Caruanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434646351717864405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-60011940828876261442018-08-20T21:31:38.127-07:002018-08-20T21:31:38.127-07:00On the boys side, this is what I know...I think i&...On the boys side, this is what I know...I think i'm pretty good on teams, but probably missing a number of individuals:<br /><br />Jesuit 2005 and '06; Garrett Rowe and Erick Olson 2009; Aubrey Meyjer 2011; Aidan Goltra 2013, and Madera South 2013; Justin Robison and Eduardo Herrera 2015; Cooper Teare, Michael Vernau and Liam Anderson 2016; Anderson and Matt Strangio 2017<br /><br />In terms of Milesplit's state rankings, congrats to many Norcal teams for working hard in track to the point of being recognized pre-season in XC. Of course, on the boys' side, milesplit made egregious errors in calculating team strengths for 5 teams; for four of the teams they double listed runners in the top 7--because of different first names in their database--and for #4 Claremont, they counted two runners who have graduated!!!!! Those sorts of mistakes are easily correctable, but seem odd that someone would put in so much time to rank all the teams but not do a simple search and see that, eg, Gabe Rosado and Gabriel Rosado are the same person...oh well!
