Official Iowa HS XC 2023 Thread

Wow how do they make mistakes like that?

Dowling won't be beaten.

Dowling had 5 guys go sub 4:30 cruising a time trial.

Wow that’s very good.

Is there a results link for this?

Could they make NXN this year?

Wayzata returns 4 sub-4:26 guys and another 15:52 guy who ran a 4:32 last spring

Yes they can make it

Well, that is not true.
please stop

Sure they did

Privileged people? Unless they are a metro star running back or maybe a bb player that would be in a better "seen" environment on one of their other heavily recruited athletic teams. Dont kid yourself on the academics. Priveledged parochial grade schoolers and middle schoolers can do well on tests when they get to high school to keep the average up in spite of the sports recruits. I could take a poor group of Lakota Sioux or Hopi, or Navajo kids from the same community and clean Dowlings clock in CC so dont try to bring academics into it. Especially since I know for a fact that Dowling isnt the top academic hs in Iowa regardless of public or private.

I didn't day academics are the best in the state but they are top 10% to go along with one if the top athletic programs. Add to that the religious aspect and the avoidance of teaching modern day useless topics. So yes, they recruit by advertising the merits of the school or nobody would attend.

I know of another school in Iowa that is better at all categories every year. Not an opinion, fact. There's probably a few others as well but I cant say with as much certainty. You obviously don't know it but that's ok. They dont need to advertise. They are the standard you aspire to. Stick to your Dowling CC worship thread and dont bring in other areas that you cant compete.

Are you going to tell real results?

No there isn't. The only school that outperformed Dowling in academics and athletics is Pleasant Valley and it isn't a religious school.

Those are correct.

Not what strava says or the video thats out there, But okay 5 guys just cruised to sub 4:30 barely any effort put out

According to Strava, Bootman ran a 4:27

Wolfe and Derocher tied for 3rd and 4th in 4:34.

Wainwright took 5th in 4:34.

Don’t know about Flori

Much more accurate and they where not just cruising! But very fast times for sure.

Remember you were the guy who spent a week arguing that 15 minutes means 15:59. So 4:30 includes 4:39.

Then that makes 2. And PV is def better than Dowling. I wont even mention Math, Debate, Music, Art, Foriegn Languages etc... Dowling couldnt buy their way into the top 8 if they wanted to. Which they do.

Check with your adult leaders, they will tell you the truth. Or keep lying to you so you think you are better than you are. Thats privilege talking. Give it up.
