What it lacked in big crowds, the eager participants made up for in enthusiasm! Today on the hilly NTC course in Clermont 11 teams of five came together for a unique cross country relay event. Each team ran a total of 25K, with each athlete running two legs of 2500 meters. Splits ranged from just under 8 minutes to well over 15. It wasn\'t time that mattered, it was the challenge and the teammates!

We are working to compile a comprehensive set of information on college cross country and track & field coaches and criteria/information about the athletic scholarhip programs at Florida colleges and universities. Please help!

As promised, Borderwar Sports has released the remaining four regional championship sites. This follows the release last week of the first six locations.

The National Training Center will host the second annual Hills-of-Lake County Cross Country Relays on Saturday, December 16, beginning at 9 a.m.

Emilie Amaro took 13th place in 18:26, with Kayla Hale 21st in 18:39 in San Diego. Michael Anderson finished 37th in the boys race with a time of 16:39.

Michael Anderson, Kayla Hale, and Emilie Amaro are now in San Diego preparing to battle it out with the nation\'s best high school cross country runners tomorrow morning at Footlocker Nationals. The race will take place at Balboa Park. The girls race starts at 9:15am PST (12:15 EST) and the boys gun fires at 10:00am PST (1:00 EST).

BorderWar Sports, organizers of the new BorderChallenge National XC Championship, has just announced the locations of six of the ten regional championship venues, as well as the national championship meet.

Plenty of hype and excitement surrounds this weekend\'s third annual Nike Team Nationals, but not everyone is thrilled with the teams on the entry list. However, in 2007 teams will have a choice. BorderWar Sports announced their own team national championship, with some impressive backing.
