High School track season is over except for a trickle of international competition, and we're already at the midpoint of the summer track season. The time has come (at last!) to start things about cross country season. This week NCRunners will post a series of statistical articles, leading up to the start of the Preseason Countdown! Using times from outdoor track season, we can see which schools had the deepest groups of 1600 runners, a strong predictor of progress toward cross country success.
