The All Area Team is made up with the top 10 or 15 ? at the area meet. this year at the AMAC Championships do you guys think this is the right way to pick All Area.

I voted as a no. It's a tough choice because it is probably the only meet where everybody from the area is racing head-to-head at once, but in the same time someone could have had a bad race there and then peaked and ran real well at the more important races, like States.
So I may be splitting hairs here, but I'd call the top 7 in the meet the all-AMAC meet team, and choose the top 7 from their accomplishments all season as the all-area team. I never did know what it's top 10 or 15, it's XC, everything is in 7's.

I agree with Justin on the top 7 being the All-Area Team. They don't pick 8 guys to be the All-Area basketball team.
However, I do think that it should be the top seven at the Area Meet (which in the case this year is basically the AMAC Meet). I know that some kids can have a bad day and other can have a great day, but that happens at every meet. Somebody meets expectations, somebody doesn't. If everybody did what they were supposed to do every time, there would be no reason to run the meets - it would all be predetermined.
But, I do think that States and Regionals are far more important meets, like Justin said. I just don't feel that any kind of voting-based system would get any results. If the Area teams only get to all be in a race once a year, then that should be the deciding factor.
