The 2024 Cross Nation season is right here! 

That is December 5, 2024.

A contented birthday to my three sisters, Lou, Beth and Kathy, who have been all born on today a number of years in the past!

You are actually on the powerful a part of the season. Everyone seems to be match; the distinction is racing health.

Let me clarify.

Those that could make the precise transfer, one after one other, and have one thing on the finish of the race, these athletes will probably be profitable.

The California State meet, the final of the season, is over. Three of 4 FootLocker Regionals are over!

We’re simply days away from the West FootLocker Regional Meet (December 7) and the NIKE NXN Champs (Dec 7).
