The downhill start of the Lori Fitzgerald Pre-State Invitational will once again initiate the season for a large proportion of the state's athletes. Colorado Track XC file photo.
We're still a week (almost) out from meets starting, but there's a buzz in the air about this season getting started. It's time to find out who has the strong hands and who's been bluffing.
In the next week or so, you can look for the following to appear on Colorado Track XC:
1. A quick preview of the meets on opening weekend (subscription content).
2. If I don't get into a better mood soon, there may be an article devoted to venting about alternately running in intense heat and losing practices to lightning 
(free content, if it happens).
3. The Colorado Track XC preseason coaches poll rankings (free content). If you are a high school coach (head or assistant) and are interested in committing time weekly to researching results and ranking teams in at least one classification, please contact me at the e-mail address in the lower left corner of this page.
4. Coach Versaw's top five team predictions for each classification except 3A (free content).
5. On-site coverage from the Joe Davis (Vista Ridge) Invitational (subscription content).
6. On-site coverage from the Lori Fitzgerald Invitational (subscription content).
7. Possibly on-site coverage from the Arapahoe Warrior Invitational (subscription content).
8. Meet results, and lots of them (free content).
