Meet Information
Intent:
A laid back, inexpensive and fun meet set at the shorter distance of 3,000 meters. Due to the August, Fayetteville area heat and humidity and the fact that so many younger runners are not quite ready for a full 5,000 meters, we set this meet up to be a fun way to kickoff the 2019 cross country season. Please join us!
Need-To-Know:
When? Saturday, August 17, 2019 (***Date changed.***) Due to track construction, several events at South View had to be moved around. If you cannot make the new date, please withdraw your team and shoot me an email. We apologize for any inconvenience. - Jesse L. Autry

Team Awards: There will be a team champion and team runner up award for the overall best combined score of all men's and women's races.
Help: In an effort to keep the cost down for this event, we will ask each coach to assist with meet administration. We still should have quite a bit of help from volunteers, but course spotting, calling splits and working the finish line/chute area will be most important.
