The best meet of the weekend when it comes to Kentucky athletes is not even being held in the great state of Kentucky. Some of the best runners in the state, especially on the distance side are heading south to the Mobile Challenge of Champions. Annually it is one of the best meets in the south, especially this early in the season.
Emma Brink (Sacred Heart) headlines the lineup for Kentucky with the potential to take down the meet record of 4:49 in the One Mile Run. The distance squad of duPont Manual will look to mix it up as well in the 4x800m Relay first and then each getting their turn individually.
