Meet Results

Boys Highlights

  • Statement from Lexington coach Bailey Harris on Zack Langston's did not finish
    Zack was in lead by a stride or two with 500-meters to go, (he) got clipped and went down really hard, stumbled and fell when getting up and a meet official helped him back up and did not finish. very disappointing.... (he) was on pace for 15 flat or under. Harris added Langston is doing fine and is on an official visit to North Carolina State University.

Belen Jesuit, Holy Trinity, Oak Hall, and Bishop Kenny made the trek up to Cary, North Carolina this weekend to compete at the Great American Festival. All in all the teams did okay, with Holy Trinity's girls finishing 8th and Oak Hall girls and Belen Jesuit boys finishing 9th in the Race of Champions.

Rhode Islanders make some noise at Great American

In the Race of Champions, two races that featured the top athletes from the east coast and beyond, top finishes were plentiful for R.I. Further proving that the girls’ state meet next month should be one of history’s best, three harriers placed in the top seven and five were among the first 25 to cross the line at WakeMed Soccer Complex in Cary, N.C.  

Great American KY Style

Saturday many of Kentucky's best are traveling to compete at the Great American XC Festival in Cary, North Carolina, home of Nike Cross Regionals for the Southeast.

North Carolina, Here We Come!!!

One of the most prestigious regional meets on the east coast includes a strong contingent of Rhode Islanders. The teams of Bishop Hendricken, La Salle Academy and Barrington and Classical senior Maddy Berkson are down south this weekend for the Great American Cross-Country Festival in Cary, North Carolina.

Virginian Invasion of North Carolina Weekend

We might as well label the first weekend of October every year as Virginian Invasion of North Carolina weekend as a significant number of the state's teams and individuals venture to several invitational meets to our neighbors to the south between the Great American Festival in Cary, the Wendy's Invitaitonal in Charlotte, and Hagan Stone Classic in Greensboro. Below are some quick highlights so far from early reports from those meets.

Deja vu?  These two friends already had one epic finish at McAlpine this season, and this weekend could produce another.
