Who's rocking the classes of 2024 and 2025 on 3-mile courses so far this cross country season?
As we all know, cross-country courses are not created equal. We have super fast, flat, even tracks like that at Woodbridge, and more challenging hilly, woodsy, uneven treks like that at the San Francisco Invite hosted by Lowell. Those are just two examples of the extreme degree-of-difficulty difference in courses under the "3-mile" header. Because of that, we have included 2.9x-mile courses into these rankings for comparison purposes. (If there is a 3-mile or 2.9x-mile meet that should be included here, please be sure to alert us.)
