Common Questions About the Yellowstone Elementary School Cross Country Meet - One Mile Race

Will I finish last at the Yellowstone Elementary School Cross Country Meet - One Mile Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 1 Miles field finished slower than 9:24, and the last recorded finisher came in around 27:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Yellowstone Elementary School Cross Country Meet - One Mile Race a good first 1 Miles?

It is a small race (174 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Yellowstone Elementary School Cross Country Meet - One Mile Race?

The 1 Miles winner ran 6:50 while the median finisher took 9:24. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
