The girls on the other hand run two distances depending on the meet. About half of the meets are 4000 meters or 2.5 miles, and the other half are 5000 meters like the boys. Eventually, the girls will be running the same 5000 meters in all of the meets. As stated above, everyone runs in every meet except the WIAA Sectional Meet and if fortunate enough the WIAA State Meet. Seven to eight runners compete in the varsity races depending upon the meet, and the rest run in the JV races, so no one is left sitting.
Most people run a race to see who is the fastest.
I run to see who has the most guts.
