Do cross country, outdoor track, and indoor track fall under the same "type" of EC?

<p>anyway, while I would love to continue to argue with you I have to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow for swim practice, so I’m peacing out</p>

62

<p>Then it’s safe to assume that the times of the other top girls aren’t updated. In any case, how does this support your argument that IL has more depth? </p>

<p>Edit: It’s not really an argument seeing as you have still not defended your initial assertion.</p>

<p>I feel like only someone who has never run cross country would say this.</p>

<p>Just kidding of course, Millancad. I had to come up with an analogy quickly, and that was the best one I could come up with in about a ten second time span. But when you simplify it, there’s a bunch of guys running around with a ball hitting each other. For track and cross country, you could simply view it as a bunch of guys running. One could argue that there’s just as big a difference between a one hundred meter dash and a 5k race on a nasty muddy course in the rain.</p>

<p>Rugby compared to football is a lot more different than XC compared to track.</p>

65

<p>Some of the track times are not updated, but it still shows that on average IL doesn’t have many top runners as compared to NJ. However, although NJ may have some top 10 runners, we don’t have a lot that are in the top 50 as compared with other states like CA and TX.</p>

66

<p>Certainly they’re the same “type” of EC - athletics/sports.</p>

<p>But to say that XC = track is just ignorant, especially considering the fact that there’s more to track than the 3200 m.</p>

<p>“first of all, GIRLS.”</p>

<p>Oh really?</p>

<p>100m:
10. 11.48 Myasia Jacobs NJ Paramus Catholic HS
15. 11.56 English Gardner NJ Eastern Reg. HS
(nobody in top 50 from IL)</p>

<p>200m:
14. 23.73 Myasia Jacobs NJ Paramus Catholic HS
37. 24.04 English Gardner NJ Eastern Reg. HS
(nobody in top 50 from IL)</p>

<p>400m:
25. 54.49 Michelle Brown NJ Seneca HS 2010 (keep in mind this girl has run 52.91, second in at World Youth Champs and her training is probably for her to peak in the summertime)
27. 54.51 Ajee Wilson NJ Neptune HS (keep in mind this girl is primarily an 800/1600 runner)
(nobody in top 50 from IL)</p>

<p>800m:

  1. 2:04.94 Ajee Wilson NJ Neptune HS
  2. 2:08.17 Brittney Jackson NJ Columbia HS
  3. 2:08.53 Erika Veidis NJ Sparta High School
  4. 2:08.81 Marielle Hall NJ Haddonfield Mem. HS
  5. 2:09.37 Claudia Disomma NJ Sparta High School
  6. 2:09.54 Ty-Vonna Johnson NJ Columbia HS
  7. 2:09.63 Molly McNamara NJ Red Bank Catholic HS
  8. 2:09.92 Chelsea Cox NJ Southern Regional
    (again, nobody in top 50 from IL. Better yet, 8 girls sub 2:10 from NJ)</p>

<p>1600m:
2. 4:43.92 Ajee Wilson NJ Neptune HS
5. 4:45.57 Claudia Disomma NJ Sparta High School
11. 4:48.73 Marielle Hall NJ Haddonfield Mem. HS
22. 4:51.13 Molly McNamara NJ Red Bank Catholic HS
32. 4:52.29 Joelle Amaral NJ Randolph HS
(again, nobody in top 50 from IL)</p>

<p>3200m:
18. 10:27.74 Colette Whitney NJ Voorhees HS
28. 10:33.25 Megan Venables NJ Highland Reg HS
40. 10:37.75 Joelle Amaral NJ Randolph HS
49. 10:40.18 Jillian Prentice NJ Montgomery HS
(again, nobody in top 50 from IL)</p>

<p>I haven’t even gotten into hurdles, jumps, and throws, but IL doesn’t have one girl in the top 50 nationally for any event from 100 to 3200, while NJ has 2+ in every event (with 8 girls being in the top 25 nationally for the 800, all have broken 2:10.) Obviously winning an MOC title in NJ is a big feat. But just in case you were wondering I got this information from Jersey13’s precious site, so take it as you may.</p>
