Today is a big day in cross country! The FootLocker Western regional is at Mt. SAC on Saturday, giving the prep cross country runners in the Western US a chance to qualify for the top ten places and move on to the FootLocker nationals, to be held in San Diego, CA on December 14, 2013.
In Portland, Oregon, under very cold conditions, the Nike NXN nationals will be held, showcasing some of the best prep club teams in the country. It is a tough event, held on the Portland Meadows golf course, in tough conditions. I am looking forward to both events!
