I have been told that college coaches ignore XC times.

There are some courses, like Woodward park, where you know what that time means

What’s really lame is charging 10-20 bucks for parking at the event.

It’s going to be an absolute zoo at the meet. There’s only one entry and exit

The bottle neck at the Boise course where they run Bob Firman is the same.
