Benet Cross Country Team History and Statistics

These statistics and historical information only go back to 1992 when I became head coach. My apologies to athletes who competed prior to that. Times with asterisks indicate times run on courses of 2.5 miles or shorter that have been converted to 3 mile race estimates. To qualify for the first race times list, an athlete must have run the time in the first week of the team's racing season.
