I am also curious about results (team and individual) at Punahou. These were posted on the wall on Saturday, but the boys and girls varsity didn't go up until after we left. I haven't been able to find them on Hawaii Milesplit yet, anyone know if the results are posted anywhere yet? No emails have y...

To the folks who think Murphy has an edge, I respectfully disagree. Whether or not the course is flat, cross country is just a lot different than track and I think this is important to keep in mind. We frequently see top notch distance guys in high school who dominate in cross country but seem a bit...

For your debate about Martinez vs. Murphy--Martinez ran the Mt. SAC course last year at the Foot Locker West Regional. Someone can probably find his time, but I remember he was in the top 5 or 10. Seems like I could find every result back to 1996 for the West Region race but, in a quick search just ...

800Runner--Right. With an exclusively individual-focused system of filling slots, the OIA will suffer at states (as a conference) by having fewer teams be able to score (with 5 or more runners). To use your example, there is a chance that Castle, which is clearly the best boys team in the OIA East, ...

In a belated response to mauioutlaw’s Oct. 12 post, I agree with your comments about the value of course-characteristics discussions and about the pointlessness of the state championships cutbacks. If a reduction in numbers will save the state money, then consider cutting it; but if the reduction is...

I am finding the current topics of discussion interesting and enlightening. I have a few questions. Please answer if you know: 1. Does the OIA guarantee its first place team seven runners at the state meet or is it purely individual , so to speak? I have read at least two conflicting explanations so...

I would like to comment on the discussion regarding decreased slots in the state championship race. The first thing I would like to clarify is the question of how runners qualify for the state meet. It is my understanding that each league has a different policy for qualifying runners. The common ele...

I, too, disagree with XC fan's statement that the 40 kids who are being left out of the state championships (by cutbacks) are irrelevant. If you go back to last year's boys state championships results you'll notice that two teams in the top 10 (King Kekaulike-8th and Aiea-10th) had only 5 runners in...
