Can tall or short people run better in Cross-Country?
i'm also 5 foot 1 in. and i also do cross country. i'm in the top of the top 7 girls in varsity for my team. in my personal opinion, i don't think height matters in cross country. in fact, there's 1 tall runner (Christine Babcock ) who's nationally ranked, but then there's also many more like Alma Escobar (California) was short, but she ran really well, as well as Ashley Brasovan (Florida) and Jordan Hasay (California) are one of the top girls in cross country. sure, tall people can have longer strides, but short people can move their feet quickly, too. you just need to work harder than anyone else to become better and .. prove to your teammates and others that short people CAN run well! (: good luck!

Do people with tall legs really run faster than people with short legs?
Heck no, the fastest runner at my school is 3ft. My former class-mate who is 6ft runs about half his speed but is good at regular sports like basketball. Short people are close to the ground and have less wieght to pull, they don't have much to stop them, whereas tall people have more wieght to pull, more skin to slow them down (like a ships mast) and they run further from the ground making them slightly slower than short people. Though most short people tend to be a bit lazier. Oh and it also counts on genetics, wieght, and health.
Do thin people run faster?
A large amount of body mass requires the heart to work much harder. Having extra weight can also effect your aerobic capacity, as the diaphragm also has to work much harder when you are doing strenuous activity. A third factor is the amount of cholesterol in arteries with can effect blood flow and is often but not always correlated with weight. But burning too many calories can be bad for you. For instance, women athletes sometimes stop having their periods and can become temporally infertile, if their percentage of body fat drops below a certain level. So make sure you maintain a healthy body mass index for you height. Alternatively, it is also possible that it is just the practice that is making you faster, as it strengthens your breathing muscles. As an analogy, think of a singer who practices and can sing for longer, but doesn't necessarily lose any weight. The reason you are losing weight is running burns more calories.
