Gabby Thomas ran at Harvard. The times are as competitive as other D1 programs

I will say for x country state placing matters - the old adage is “place for x country / time for track”. Although the Holmdel course in NJ does mean something with a good time
90+ miles is insane. Boys? What about the girls?

OP asked about track, not XC.
some states have faster runners and faster divisions and faster girls vs boys- time is what matters. Conditions are definitely not an asterik on the time.

Schools don't care about championships or medals- all about times
The runcruit times are ok to get a rough idea but reach out to individual coaches to get their real times. Most of the schools my kid talked to wanted faster times than what runcruit lists.

DS medaled in 2 State finals with a best of 1:56 in the 800 and that was not recruitable for ivies. It was for NESCACs, and some D1 schools. Ultimately he could get into a better school based on academics than track so didn’t pursue it.

for distance and mid distance
is medaling in state final as important as times - if times were slow based on conditions the final took place
