Below is a listing of the Top 100 South Region Performances. There are two things you should note as you read this list. First, I did not have complete results for each year so there could be Non-Seeded Race results that might make this list from prior to 1998. Also, remember that Steve Taylor from St. Marys and Brian Redman from Keyser qualified for Nationals in the early 1980's. However, at that time West Virginia was not in the South Region. Please let me know if I've missed anyone.
It's reported that the 2015 race was 60-70 meters longer than prior races, but without knowing if EVERY prior year used the exact same course, I have decided to just go with the presented times without any conversion factor. Also, even though this is really intended to be a High School list, the 13-14 year old race is the same course used by the High School races, so any qualifying performances from that division will be included. Also, not every year included tenths or hundredths, so I have just used the minutes and seconds for each performance provided.
