This year's State Meet Course is one of, if not, New York's Fastest Course to ever be used to determine your State Champions. But how fast is it really? We broke down the last 15 years of State Meets (Warwick was excluded because it was not 5K) to determine how much faster it really was. Check out the Average Time, as well as the winning time, to get an idea.
