[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HS has a XC competitive program and from the sports website it looks like a freshman girl needs to be able to run a 7:30 mile and boys 6:30. There is a time trial on the track the first few days of practice. The times go down for older ages groups. There is a caveat that if you are close- you can try again in a week.

The times are not posted for winter and spring track but I think it is top 8 finish in the time trials.

6:30 is pretty fast [/quote]

For a boy hoping to compete in high school track?  It's incredibly slow.  Boys should be able to run sub 5min miles to be competitive at a varsity meet.  Girls need to run sub 6min to be competitive.  Although to REALLY be competitive, a HS girl should be running around 5min.[/quote]

Yes, but the high school cross-country and track teams are typically over 50 students, at least in this area. The kids you are talking about are really only the top 10 boys and top 10 girls. [/quote]
