Combine the best elements from last year's two NC postseason meets into one huge celebration of track & field? CHECK.
NCRunners, the North Carolina Track and Cross Country Coaches Association, and Bishop McGuinness High School are proud to announce the details for the Champions Tune-Up. The meet combines elements from the NCTCCCA Meet of Champions, held for the first time last year, and the NCRunners Elite Tune-Up, which has a brief but bright history at Bishop McGuinness. The goal of this combined meet is to bring together the best athletes in North Carolina and its neighboring states, especially those who compete in different classifications, and create the most competitive events possible. Planning to compete at Nationals, and looking for a way to sharpen up? Want one more shot at that school record or PR? Just want to end your season with something special? You can find all of that in this meet! Registration will begin in May, and NCRunners will start recruiting elite athletes next week. Check out some of the details below.
