The speed ratings below are an academic exercise at approximating the 5000 meter indoor track times to cross country speed ratings.

These ratings require some assumptions and general statistical fitting of various scenarios (and then making a "best guess" estimation) ... I used scenarios (profiles) that included Footlocker Finals and Footlocker & NXN regional races ... I used seasonal XC speed ratings for many of the individual runners (very helpful that many NY runners competed) ... I applied track form-cycles for various runners (and made more guesses) ... and the end-results are shown below.
