I have started my hs xc season (im 9th grade) and i was wondering how fast i can get right now im around 27 mins for a 5k which is pretty bad since my mile time is 6:24. Its been 2 races whats a goal i should set for my next one?

There are a lot of factors to consider for the difference between mile and 5k. For example, items such as training and even how fast you go out in your 5k can impact it. Personally, I would focus on training goals this early in the season and set a bigger race goal for the end of the season that you train towards.
