Cross Country Practices Before the National Meet
The National Cross Country Championship Meet will be December 4 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Cross Country practice this week (for those interested in participating in the national meet) is at the State Police Academy Tuesday November 16 through Friday November 19 at 5:15 pm and Saturday November 20 at 10 am at Coonskin Park. Thanksgiving week practice will be Monday and Tuesday November 22 and 23 at the State Police Academy. Coach Ferrell will be handing the State Police Academy practices. Athletes who want to go to nationals need to let coach Ferrell know. Coach Ferrell may move practice up so the athletes have more daylight (a few were coming at 4:30 pm).
