The NYS Cross-Country All-State teams were determined by analyzing the results of the entire season with emphasis on the Championship season: Federation Meet, CHSAA Championship, PSAL Championship, NYSPHSAA Championship and the AIS Championship; the FLNE Regionals and the Footlocker National Championship. The Sectional meets are also considered. Then a look at the major Invitationals: Great American, Manhattan College, Mc Quaid, Brown and St. Anthony’s fall into this category. All meets “count” but the better the competition the greater the weight of consideration. All runners times were cross referenced with Mr. Bill Meylan’s speed ratings courtesy of tullyrunners.com.
