Talent in the 2-mile and XC are the same thing and what the NP kids accomplish next spring will provide all the information we need to compare them to the GOATS.
Really, I was just trying to say I don't like how Ritz's records are either literally untouchable (no one can run on his FL course anymore), or untouchable for any runner not in Michigan (Michigan State course 14:10).
Sure, we'll be able to say which one is better on the track by the end of the summer, but we can't really compare these performances because the NP kids can't run the races that Ritz ran.
So I just meant that I like how we now have a race where we can say "The greatest HS team ever ran these times at this course. If you can't beat that, then you're definitely not the greatest".
