Reason they want to see the track times as it makes it very easy to compare kids - as you said all xc courses are different.

As Varska said if you are able to qualify for the higher end meets it is a way to compare you to other runners of a higher calliber

On the plus side a forward thinking coach will look at your XC times and realize you have never really trained all year - LAX training/running is completely different, short bursts, cutting - so there could be plenty of upside to your times. I know a very important question for my S was how many training miles he was doing per week - coaches wanted to make sure ther was still room for improvement

I know you said this is the D1 that interests you the most right now - open your choices

Good Luck
