John,

I'm a cross-country coach from Idaho, and thrive on your site since I
dicovered it 2 months ago. I have sent a number of e-mail to john
molvar regarding the Idaho boys. Jed Barta proved to the west he was
for real. I am a statistic junky, and have a real problem with the boys
national ranking done by Bloom. By the way I am a non biased voice.

I read an article in the Salt Lake Tribune praising the Mt. View boys
for their national title. In the article it stated Bloom called Coach
Houle to tell him based on his teams West FootLocker race they were the
national champs. I question if Bloom searched all the results, because
Flathead,MT dominated.

Mt. Views team time was 83:49(16:25/16:25/16:48/17:05/17:06) while Flathead combined five was 82:17 (15:52/16:19/16:34/16:45/16:47).

Beside that Flathead had 2 runner in the top 20(7th,20th) seeded and their 3rd was 40th seeded. Mt. Views top runners were 26th, 27th then 63rd. Flatheads top 5(#4 1st in race #13, #4 2nd in race #17)would have beat in Mt. Views number 3.

Tell me how Mt. View deserves the national title. They Don't!!!!!

Flathead out of Kalispell,MT should be the national champs.
