Saturday Mason County will host the largest ever crowd for our Cross Country Invitational with 45 schools and 1,600 athletes signed up to participate. The field will be a high quality event with 6 boys teams currently ranked in the top 10 in the KTCCCA/Milesplit power rankings in either single A or two AA. Surprisingly however the school favored to win the boys race is a school unknown to most KY programs. Fairfield-Leesburg from Ohio looks to be the early favorite to win the meet with local schools from Bracken County and Mason County in the mix. Bishop Brossart, Montgomery County and Bourbon Co should also have strong showings.
