Is the Fitbit good for cross country meets to track distance vs time to keep a good pace? null

It has a stopwatch and you can also set silent alarms that vibrate you wrist. I would assume you could set repetitive intervals to give you 5 minutes or 10 for where you want to be at a given time. There are multiple faces you may be able to do use.

It has a run feature that tells you how far and time it took plus monitors your pulse and elevation and floors you've climbed

Not really accurate since there's no GPS. Garmin or the new Apple Watch Series 2 would be better. The Fitbit could only give you an estimate on distance based on strides.

It will track steps and has a stopwatch feature but you would have to switch it back and forth. If you can do a comparison between the two it would work.

This model doesn't have a GPS, but you can track distance through the Fitbit app if your phone is with you. This does calculate distance by counting steps, and you can adjust/customize your stride length so I suppose it could be fairly accurate. But if you are a hardcore runner, I'd look at GPS models (Garmin usually has GPS, and most smartwatches do now too).
