When Did Colorado Track XC Become a Subscription Site (and Why)?

For those of you just now coming back to visit this site after last track season, this article is provided to explain what's going on with subscriptions.

 

In August of 2011, Colorado Track XC became a subscription site. Much of the content, of course, is still free (see below for a detailed listing of what is and what is not free content). Continuing to expand coverage of high school track and field/cross country, however, is an expensive proposition and would not be possible without the revenue provided by subscriptions.

Your subscriptions help to make possible the kind of coverage of the sport that you see on Colorado Track XC. A one-year subscription provides access to all site content and costs only $36. You can subscribe by clicking on Subscribe in the main blue navigation bar or by following this subscription link. The page that appears will take you through the details of the subscription process.
