I am pretty sure Women’s DI XC races are 6000 meters (6k). When I estimate what you might run (around 23 min), you are a bit under what these girls are running. They also have 12 freshman on the team, so don’t think that it is all juniors and seniors making these times. That being said, you still have about a year to train to get your times down. I would say if you can train and start making times around 19:30 and keep your grades how they are, you have a shot!
