Note: The Speed Ratings were determined using two data sets ... (1) applying a generic fit of the actual 5000 meter Track times to the sequential XC speed ratings of each runner to derive an estimated speed rating correction factor .. and (2) estimating a speed rating correction factor based on historical data fitting of 5000 meter track times to XC speed ratings ... AS USUAL, the Speed Ratings posted below are best-guess approximations ... But I believe they are very decent approximations.
My most recent
Table of XC Speed
Ratings with Approximated Times for Various Track Distances is posted at this
associated link ... It was posted back in December 2021, and could likely by
updated ... But even with additional updating, the numbers will still be very
variable (because runners overall are randomly variable and always will be).
Blair Bartlett and Averi Lowen achieved excellent speed ratings of 170 and 168, respectively, in the Nike Indoor National 5000 Meter Track race at the Armory in New York City ... Blair Bartlett joins a very small and elite group of high school girls to achieve a speed rating of 170 or higher ... this group includes Amber Trotter (180), Melody Fairchild (178), Katelyn Tuohy (177), Cathy Shiro (174), Julia Stamps (173), Jane Hedengren (172), Janet Smith (170) and Aisling Cuffe (170) who achieved their speed ratings in an XC race ..... Jane Hedengren (175), Rylee Blade (173), Natalie Cook (173) and Jenna Hutchins (172) achieved 170+ speed ratings on the Track (not in XC).
Marie Sirois (Barrington, IL) won the Girls New Balance Indoor 5000m with a 160 speed rating ... she was injured during most of the XC season but did post a 10:13.64 time at an indoor 3200m race before her 5K win at New Balance ... during the 2024 XC season, she achieved XC speed ratings of 158, 155 and 153.
Speed Ratings measure how fast runners run relative to other runners and groups of runners (Time Differences between runners and groups of runners) ... The numbers below are decent statistical fits.
