[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 5 in the State[/quote] That’s interesting but a lot of kids don’t run XC or track until high school. Plus puberty comes into effect. If they stay on the top 5 as a sophomore- then recruiting gets serious. And depending on the state- national rankings are important. If this is track- run at new balance nationals to have good competition.[/quote] This. So many kids burn out before college or get injured or go through puberty, which changes their times. 10th and 11th are big years for running good times for recruiting. Put another way, coaches don’t care how well a child ran in 8th grade if their times went up or plateaued through 11th. And college recruiting is straightforward - you give the coach a list of times for distances and when you ran them. Stop stressing. There is so much time. The best kids usually come over from soccer in 9th or 10th anyway. [/quote]
