Deep Dive: Just How Tough is the Frogtown Course?

I think the all-time records from the Frogtown Course tell the story quite well. On the boys' side, you would be hard-pressed to find another 3 mile course in California where the all-time top 50 includes times over 16 minutes. If you exclude the 2017 race, which seemed to be unusually fast, only 16 boys have broken 16 minutes in all the other Frogtown races (invitational or sub-sectional).

In a similar vein, when you look at girls' all-time list you find that just over 50 athletes have broken 19 minutes on the course. Outside of the apparently anomalous 2017 race, only 20 girls have ever run under 19 minutes there.
