by Larry EderWednesday is a recovery day. Just over 550,000 boys and girls will compete in high school cross country this fall (Sept-Dec). Shortest season is probably Alaska, where the state meet is in early October (October 9, 2021). California is traditionally the last state to hold its high school cross country champs in early December.
Enoy your season whereever you are!
