Girls in the Midget Division prepare to race

This past weekend, NTC had the most participants EVER in a USATF-sanctioned XC meet! Complete Results Here. We were represented by a total of 36 athletes – and all of them ran well! For some, it was their first race; for others, a step towards the national meet in December, which will be held in Myrtle Beach, SC. The conditions made good times difficult – an incredibly soggy course plagued with sinkholes, in addition to strong gusts of wind made this an immense challenge. Despite the harsh conditions, our athletes ran some impressive races. We had two individual champions – Emerson King (Midget Boys Division) and Connor Horn (Youth Boys Divison), as well as won every race where we entered enough runners to field a team (Midget Girls and Bantam, Midget, and Youth Boys). Here is how our athletes performed at each age level:
