And…some notes about meets this season. Right now these are just some ideas. We won’t do multiple travel meets but likely choose one (Liberty or Nashville, not both):
- Dual/triple meets with some homeschool clubs
- Shooting for a few meets that are middle school only
- Corinth-Holders High School (late August)
- Pioneer Clash of the Classes – Boone, NC – Aug 22
- Jungle Run – Sept 5th (Sat)
- Smithfield-Selma Invitational – Sep 19th (Sat)
- Greensboro Invitational – Sept 26 (Micah Winn ran this last year)
- Lynchburg, VA HSPN – Oct 2–3 Liberty University (this would replace Nashville if we run it)
- Great American Cross Country Festival Wake Med – Oct 3 (individual entry only, $45 per)
- NCHEAC State Meet Greensboro – Oct 9 – Hagan-Stone State Park
- Nashville Nationals – Nov 1 (based on previous years)
- Foot Locker Regionals Charlotte – Nov 28 (based on previous years)
- This site gives a number of NC xc races
- Timed park runs in Durham – these were good fillers for us last year
