Answer 1

If you want to check nationally what your time compare to others, log onto www.dyestat.com . That website has a wealth of running information (XC and Track) which even breaks it down by each state.

Don't get intimidated by the times, as a majority of the times are being ran by high school athletes, of which you will be in the particular class in a few years.  If any, let that even be a motivating factor to compete on the high school level.

Answer 2

That is pretty good (you must have known that is a good time even before you posted). Since you are running xc speed isnt the main factor (although it is very important). It is about being able to keep a steady pace for a long distance.

Answer 3

I am a 13 year old girl and I have a mile time of 5:00, I am on cross country. That is pretty good for someone that does not do cross country, which means if you join you would deffinately do well!  

Answer 4

Answer 5
