MA State Track Coaches Assoc. XC Invite Sat. 6 Nov.

from Coach Norton:

Mass. State Track Coaches Association's Cross Country Invitational Meet will be held tomorrow, Saturday Nov. 6 at the Wrentham Development Center, Wrentham, Ma.
Our Division has a start time of 12:15pm.

That's right! 120 kids on the starting line, amongst them the mighty Lions of Newton South.
This is a 3 loop course through a large grass field with several changes in elevation.
The course is well marked with many spectator locations, as they are led by a man on an ATV.
The NSXC Lions will follow the ATV for a little bit before they realize that the ATV is not food, as these Lions will be hungry...Hungry to race!
They will run with a ferocious stride as if to attack their prey.
And they will put a bite in every competitor that tries to match their running pace.
They will roar with determined desire in the middle of their race, and will not stop until they reach the finish line, where all paws will be up to salute good sportsmanship.
There is where they will find a good juicy burger to devour from the friendly concession stand!
(bring money)

As noted, this invitational is contested by student grade level, which gives the athlete the opportunity to compete at their perspective level, so that they can evaluate their performance amongst their peers. Some individuals will be competing at an upper grade level based upon their season running experience.

12:15 - 10th Grade Boys (5K Race)
Ben Eisenberg, Joe Trask, Joe Hickey, Keegan Stricker, Jason Karys, Matt McNally, Eric Zhang, Allen Shiu, Sam Haas, Collin Pham, Dylan Shuler
