@“Henden 105” , it’s not just about only being a Sophomore as lots of new runners never get faster than their initial times. That doesn’t meant that with continued training you won’t continue to improve, but it does mean that it’s too early to tell - that will happen on the track in the Spring of Junior year.

Also coaches rarely look at XC times, unless they are phenomenal, as every course is different.

If you ask today where a 16:47 3-mile XC time would put you, it would really depend on the school as a top D2 or D3 schools would be looking for much faster times.

Keep having fun running, stay committed and stay healthy as these will enable you to achieve your best!
