AMHERST, N.Y. — In the world of racing, every level of distance running except for college cross country has men and women running the same distances. In track, from high school to college to pro, men and women run the same distances. They race the same distance on the roads, and in high school cross country across the nation. But not at the college cross country level, where the women race 5K during the season and 6K at the championship level, and the men race 8K’s and 10K’s.
