Girls Championship 5k - Nike Cross Regional Northeast 2024 [Full Replay]

[@RayPetzold-ls4ye]

THIS is a cross country course - tough footing, hills, switchbacks. Not just flat manicured grass. Great running!

[@jessa813]

This definitely looks like a slow hilly course. I’m assuming this is a pretty slow course which is why there were quite a few slower times?

[@nickfalcone9007]

yea bowdoin is pretty tough, definitely fast times for the course ngl

[@ppppppppp64]

also the terrain is probably very beaten down from the looots of many other races from before

[@degreeO]

"Times" are for track, not XC.

[@jessa813]

@@degreeO you still look at times and they are pretty important in cross country even though they can vary from course to course.

[@michaelmurray6351]

That race was slower than I thought was possible.

[@degreeO]

"Times" are for track, not XC. Why are you being negative?

[@michaelmurray6351]

I know the course and quite a bit about XC and still make the obvious observation the winning time was very slow for an NXN regional. This is a very difficult course, but championships on this course are usually won a half-minute faster than on Saturday. There could be very legitimate reasons why a time is slow on any course starting with environment / course condition and/or the athlete choosing not to run any faster than needed. With all of that said, the time was slow; this is not being negative, it stating the obvious.
