There were 4 races held on Saturday during the Kickoff Classic. Both boys and girls were split into 2 races by year in school. There were 2 9th-10th grade races and 2 11th-12th races. The one twist was, runners could run up. So as you look at the results, you may find 10th graders in the 11th-12th grade race.
