COURSE:  It is challenging with a blend of hills, woods, trails, fields and one small stream crossing.  It is very spectator friendly and is all around the school.  It will finish on the track with a 3/4 lap to the line and plenty of bleacher seating to watch.

The Meet:

The race last year was super with 18 boys and 18 girls varsity teams. We also had around 10 to 12 middle school teams each.  The meet went without any problems that we know of and had over 25 spotters placed out on the course with bright shirts for the runners to see.  Trainers were on duty (about 5, I think), meet t-shirts (something bright in 05 -- just wait), hospitality room, great food at concession stand, and plenty of nice people to talk with.  The race was announced throughout the run, mentioning leaders at certain points of the race.  Great finish on the track with a 3/4 lap to the finish and a bleacher full of fans to support each runner.  Our people love Cross Country and it shows with the support to the race from staff, administration, boosters, community, and friends.  We feel like we want to make it a show and one you want to come back for.  I would love to make this the biggest meet in the state for the kids and for the people here who support these kids.  Please fill out the form below and let me know if you plan to be apart of this great meet on Sept. 10th of 2005.  This will give me an insight to the work I need to prepare for and let you know of any improvements.

We want to see you on trail and our meet---WV INSURANCE INVITATIONAL.
