Suppose that you could run a virtual cross country meet of 3200 meter times posted from track meets this spring. Suppose further that you could limit that analysis to athletes who will be back this fall.
If you did that, you would have a nice picture of which teams have the best depth heading into this fall's cross country season. It would not tell you everything you need to know about the season ahead, but it would shed an important piece of light on the scope of possibilities looming before us.
As it turns out, the MileSplit database can make such an analysis pretty simple to do. The major limitation on this analysis would be that not all meet results from this spring found their way into the MileSplit database. But, from those meets that did make it into the database, it's easy to see teams like Albuquerque Academy and Hobbs figure to be bringing a strong hand into the cross country season.
Keep checking back over the next couple of weeks and we'll repeat this same analysis for girls and then do a similar analysis for both boys and girls at 1600 meters.
