How many NCAA 1 AA schools with Cross Country?
NCAA division 1 AA (or FCS) is a designation given only to college football programs. The vast majority, if not all, of the schools with football teams that play in division 1 AA have athletic teams that compete in Division 1 for other sports. Because cross country is a mainstream sport at the high school and college level, it seems fair to assume that almost all of these schools have cross country programs.

It is unknown exactly when Cross Country was invented. This is because man himself have been racing against each other sense the caveman era. It was deemed to be "manly" to be the faster man in the tribe. Over time, the races became more sophisticated and organized, to the point of where it is at today.

Can Nike Mayflys be used for an entire season of cross country?
Yes. They should be able to stand up for at least one season. (300-400 miles?) As long as the soles don't show much wear or cause you any pain they are probably fine.
Distance wise it is 3.1 miles, price wise, it depends on the race.
What is a average competitive high school mile time?
Competitive Varsity Mile times are anything under 4:30. You would think that's amazingly fast but I wouldent worry about it. At those speeds, a few seconds of time is a huge difference. Runners at the 4:30 mark are far behind those runners at the 4 minute to sub 4 range. This time is totally obtainable. As a freshman, I ran a mile in 4:56 and ended up only running 4:15's.
Good diet for a cross country runner?
Cross country running demands the body to work its best.
A good diet consists of:
Don't eat:
A cross country runner needs to carefully watch their diet. Carbohydrates are excellent to stock up enough energy to run, but also be ware of eating too little or not getting enough calcium, protein of vitamins.
I recommend taking calcium supplements (like Tums) and a multivitamin everyday as well.
If you're a Vegetarian, be extra careful. Check up on your iron level often with you doctor and be aware of your body's needs and aches.
How fast are untrained runners?
Depends on what the definition of "untrained runners" is. There are a lot of different things you could mean by that. If untrained means people who are out of shape and don't usually run, I'd say they are very quick at the very beginning of their races/runs and wear them selves out very quickly. The exact speed would depend on the gender, age, height and overall athleticism. Depends on what the definition of "untrained runners" is. There are a lot of different things you could mean by that.
