Hey guys. I'm just trying to start a thread trying to get a preview of the week's XC action. I made it over to the Frankfort Invite, and I really missed watching XC races, so I'd like to try and make it to more.
So the purpose of the thread is for each Monday or so to get a heads-up on the upcoming week's top action.
So what are the meets to see for this week? Any Tuesday meets?
Any help would be great. Thanks.
Justin

Frankfort and Keyser both have a meet tomorrow with Alco @ AC listed on their schedule, but it is not on Alco's schedule. Don't know if it is going on or not. Other than that, I think no area teams are really running this week. There is a meet at Hampshire tomorrow, but don't know who will be there.

Yeah that meet is still on, we just didnt learn about it till Friday, the AD scheduled it. Fort Hill may or may not be attending as well. We'll also be going to the Brunswick Invitational on Saturday. Is Mountain Ridge or anyone else in action this weekend?

As far as I know, Mountain Ridge has nothing on the schedule until next Tuesday (18th) when they run against Northern and Fort Hill at Glendening.

Course walk starts at 3 tomorrow and first race will be 4. No JV race, just seperate guys and girls races. As for Lauryn, she hasnt been feeling well, so I doubt if she really gets after it tomorrow. I'd rather she recover for the weekend meet.

Thanks, Joe. I know that University's boys won West Virginia AAA last year. They are just as good this year. I'd be interested to see what Meyersdale has. They had a boy who just graduated but was 1:54 for the 800 and 4:18 for the mile (PA state champ as a junior), but he never ran cross-country, always played soccer. I have a feeling that most kids over there play soccer. Good Luck!

Thanks guys. Are all weekday meets that early? I don't remember what time they were when I ran, but 4:00 seems really early. Anyways, good luck to everyone this week, hopefully Fall weather comes soon and times get faster.

So this week looks like the meet in Frostburg and the invite in Altoona. I've never heard of the invite in Altoona, why are so many teams going there?
It looks like there were some great runs on Saturday down in Brunswick.

Last year was the first year we went to it, and we were the only local school to go. It was a great meet tho, it has a small college meet as well as a high school meet. Course is nice, not too difficult and it was well organized. We had nothing but good things to say about it, and I guess that influenced Mountain Ridge. I'm not sure who else from around here is going this year.
Brunswick was also a nice course, but the awards ceremony and organization left a little to be desired.

Sounds good Tommy. I've only seen Allegany and Mountain Ridge schedules, so I was just surprised to see that meet on both. How is the competition up there? Is is a humbling experience like most PA invites?

Competition is tough. Here's the results page from last year's meet. pa.milesplit.us/meets/13953The name has changed this year but it's the same site and everything. Also, I dont know exactly which schools are coming and even if I did, I dont know alot about the PA schools. But last year's girl's race was a little ridiculous as you can see.

That's a good meet. here's this year's meet page. It has entries, but not all, since it doesn't have Allegany or Mountain Ridge. Sherando (VA) is there again, and they've always had strong teams.

I am attending Juniata, unfortunately i don't think i can make it the meet, I am playing soccer and we have our first conference game at Moravian tomorrow. I was looking at the teams from high school and college. Alco and Mt. Ridge will be there of course but it lists Meyersdale and Rockwood who both sometimes run against MD teams. Also looks like FSU will be up here and Hagerstown CC is running which means Mike Podlesnick (Salisbury, PA ran for Meyersdale, Jaron told you his stats already) should be running for them so that should be interesting to see what he can do at a longer distance than 1 mile.
