The Week Ahead: Big September Races Continue

The Boys Championship race last year at Wingfoot was a thriller

Can you feel that? The weather is turning into fall weather! It FINALLY is feeling like it's really cross country season. Sure we got lucky with some cooler Saturday weather for really all of September when it came time to race on the weekend, but the practices were still pretty hot. Yesterday it was nice outside, at least compared to what it's been. And it looks like this nicer weather is mostly here to stay too. At least for a while. So we've got two more weekends of racing before fall break leaves a pretty big hole in the racing schedule for most. And both weekends should give us lots of excitement. As is almost always the case in September, some teams are going out of town. But most teams are staying here and the big meet this weekend is the Wingfoot XC Classic. The two day meet will draw the most Georgia teams this week and they somehow always seem to get the nice weather for it too. It's honestly impressive. But don't forget some of the other good meets this weekend like the Darlington Cross Country Festival and the Apple Hawkins Invitational which both look like they'll draw a solid crowd. But the big news is that the racing should be very good this weekend and the weather should be pretty nice for it as well as in the time leading up to it this week. It's an exciting time in the season!
