| What is the difference between the FPYC XC Jamboree and District meet in terms of the kids that attend? They are on back to back days, so I’m guessing that maybe JV runs in the jamboree and varsity does districts? We are new to the school and have a coach who isn’t particularly strong and isn’t a great communicator. |

For the district meet- it is the top 10 runners for both boys and girls for each of the 8 teams in the district.
Top 6 teams from the district go to the region and then top 3 teams from region go to State meet. (plus the top 5 runners not in the top 3 teams will qualify for states too). I assume JV Jamboree is for the 11-20 runners from the schools. |
| I have seen some concerning pictures of the young lady who won in NC. How can parents allow this level of emaciation to be on display? |
She does not seem to be lacking speed, endurance, or energy. Every body is different I guess. PS - Her gait is also awkward looking, but it works! |
For now. It's sick what parents allow. She doesn't look healthy. |
There's something of a tragic history there and her mom is deceased. An interview with her dad sounded like he didn't worry if she was pushing herself too much because she's been through so much worse. I hope she is okay, but it worried me too. |
Totally concerning. It makes me sad for her and other girls like her. There are many. |
Thank you! |
It’s disgusting |
She has never lost a XC race. Yes- she is thin but she clearly can run. To keep the pace she does- she can't be unhealthy. |

She’s emaciated |
This conversation makes me uncomfortable but it’s very possible to keep that pace and be unhealthy. |
| It’s nuts full stop |
Of course she can. It's sick that you don't recognize it. I know way too many parents like you, unfortunately. They refuse to see the disorder in their children. |
| The internet seems equally as alarmed by how this young athlete looks. It's not just us. I hope this is a wake up call. |
