[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can also depend on if a coach wants a kid to learn to be in the front of the pack or middle of the pack. Even if a Freshman has a "varsity" time, Coach may want them to practice being a front runner in a Freshman race.[/quote] Yes! This is part of the fun of cross-country. If a team has some depth, the coach may choose to experiment with factors like this. Another thing my kid's old coach did is that he would sometimes encourage the top couple of kids to hold back so that they could practice running as a pack. In a big race, a team that can lock up places 9-14 may be more likely to win than the school who has the winner, if the rest of the team is much farther back. Or if the leaders are dispersed among many schools. MY FAVORITE SPORT! [/quote]
