Best 5k and 3-mile times of the season. Cutoffs are 16:05 and 15:35 for boys and 19:05 and 18:35 for girls. Due to the variations between courses, weather, and distances, these should be considered performance lists, not rankings.

About Distances

Many course distances are approximate, being a few meters short or long of the published distance. DyeStat Elite Lists use distances that are "close" and will disclose the actual distance. The only alternative would be to proliferate into a dozen different lists for different distances. And variables of weather course conditions make more of a difference in times than a few meters of error in measurement. Consider the following table to show how confusing it can get:

Mile	Meters	Yards
3.0000	4827.9000	5279.8556
3.1000	4988.8300	5455.8508
3.1069	5000.0000	5468.0665

Note that 3.1 miles and 5000 meters, which are often considered interchangeable, are actually a little more than 11 meters different.
