MEET INFORMATION
ATTENTION: This meet has exploded to become one of the fastest-growing meets in the state. We have expanded the team limits this year but have also had to add more races to accommodate the high numbers. All of this is because our course is a GHSA sectional site for the 2024 cross country season. There will be two divisions: private schools and public (classes A, AA, and AAA) and 4A, 5A, and 6A will be in the other division. The meet will be capped at 32 schools per race. Spots are filling up quickly so request the code today and get registered.
The course was previously established and has now been measured extensively using a calibrated Jones Counter. While USTAF does not certify cross country courses, this course was measured by the same standards required to certify a road course by a licensed individual. If you have course certification questions, please contact: Todd Smoot, A Course/Line, 2403 Fieldcrest Drive, Valdosta, GA 31602, acourseline@earthlink.net, 229-630-1455.
T-shirts, concessions, and Dairy Queen biscuits will all be available on-site.
