Black Friday is known as the day of notorious shopping sells across the state of Kentucky.  This does hold true, but for the running community it is a night and morning of traveling to North Carolina.  For most areas of the state it takes close to twelve hours to arrive in Charlotte for Foot Locker South or Cary for NXN Southeast.  Kentucky’s best is split on the boys side between the races, whereas the girls all headed to Charlotte this year.

Numerous Kentucky athletes participated in the Cross Country Coaches National Youth Championships held Saturday, November 20th at Masterson Station Park.  Competing against many of the best teams and individuals in the United States, Kentucky kids fared quite well on a beautiful Saturday.  As has been the case the past few years, the Brocaw Blazers, a large club that brought more than 170 runners from several states, dominated several races in the meet.

As a new and different feature, we are looking to give you, our committed and informed subscribers, an in-depth analysis of the individual and team pictures in each class. We want to share some of our thinking with you, and get some feedback, so that you can get a better picture of the way the races are coming together at this point in the season. Hopefully, you will find the information interesting and even get a peek inside the working minds of Grooms and myself.
