Hagan Stone XC Classic 2013

With regional- and national-caliber invitationals on three of the state's four major courses, this is the biggest weekend of the regular season.

We might as well label the first weekend of October every year as Virginian Invasion of North Carolina weekend as a significant number of the state's teams and individuals venture to several invitational meets to our neighbors to the south between the Great American Festival in Cary, the Wendy's Invitaitonal in Charlotte, and Hagan Stone Classic in Greensboro. Below are some quick highlights so far from early reports from those meets.

Ben Huffman (Providence Day) made a final surge up the hill at WakeMed that will change national rankings and postseason predictions.

The Myers Park girls had arguably the most impressive team performance from a giant weekend of cross country in North Carolina.
