The Newton South girls team will be at the northeastern regional Nike team championship on Saturday at 11:20 a.m. in Wappingers Falls, NY. The fastest 2 teams from each of 9 regions plus 4 at large selected teams plus the top 5 individuals from each region not on an advancing team will be flown to Portland Oregon by Nike for the national championship on 6 Dec.
From Nike:
"Win as a team, or win as one.
For the first time in harrier history, a single race - Nike Cross Nationals - will crown both individual and team national champions. Just as in past Nike Team Nationals events, the 22 best teams of each gender will compete. Only difference is, this year they'll be joined by the 45 fastest individuals from non-qualifying teams. It's true cross country, and a true national championship, whether you compete solo or for the team.
All high school runners are invited to prove who has the most guts on their stretch of turf and toe the line at the Nike Cross Regionals."
Teams to watch in the girls northeastern region championship: Newton Centre Athletics from Newton, MA; Mercury TC from Sudbury, MA; Tomahawk XC Club from Glastonbury, CT; Suamme XC Club from Emmaus, PA.
