Cross Country times can be very subjective in comparison to Track Times. Much can depend on the terrain of the course, its actual distance, the race competition and of course the weather on the day of the race. The weekly MileSplit Rankings are based on time. Generally, the top runners do run the top times. The times are not always indicative however of, especially early in the season, who is and who may be the best XC runners. Below are the Top 20 Boys comparative and subjective Cross Country rankings that take into account not just the runner's current season times, but also what they have run on the track and their potential to run a fast XC time. And, of course, some athletes run better in XC than on the track. Some prefer the track to the course.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
