Some people don't care for cross country rankings because cross country courses vary and so going by the season best times, they feel, is irrelevant. My counter-arguments have always been that a) they're just a guide and b) typically everyone gets to run a fast course at some point in the year. In Florida this is actually less of an issue than other states because, let's face it, most of our courses are pretty flat and relatively quick. Regardless, I was able to rig up the database to analyze the AVERAGE time from last season... perhaps this will flatten out some of the bumps and give a truer picture? So here are the top returning individuals based on 2009 average time. (Teams to come later this month)
