Caden Miracle of Bell County will be among many who could follow up on career bests set last weekend.

Tomorrow brings the annual opening big event in Kentucky, the Wildcat Classic.  The event which will bring together many of the best returning runners in the state should be another great day of track viewing.

Saturday many of Kentucky's best are traveling to compete at the Great American XC Festival in Cary, North Carolina, home of Nike Cross Regionals for the Southeast.

The annual Trinity/Valkyrie Invitational starts tonight with the Middle School and Elementary races which will have 1500 plus runners cruising around Tom Sawyer Park.  The big action begins tomorrow morning with the high school action as several of the best teams in the nation compete head to head.  Let's take a look at some of the best runners and teams from multiple states competing tomorrow:

Even before my head hit the pillow on Friday night, I knew it was going to be a great morning of racing in the Bluegrass State. After a relatively hot week, the air finally had that early-fall crisp to it and a cool breeze blew freshly fallen leaves across the ground. THIS was the cross country weather I remembered from high school. Fortunately for runners and spectators alike, that same kind of weather carried over to the morning and we had a perfect day for racing.

Unlike the other two classes this year, AAA brings back its individual champion in Chase Geary of Muhlenberg County.  There is no question he is still a threat to repeat, but he faces possibility the most depth of top talent in AAA in many years. Let's take a look at who is out there in Class AAA.

The 4th Edition of the Kentucky Dream Mile will be held this Friday evening at St. Xavier High School.

Video Coverage from Fayette County Championship last night.

The battle for AAA region 6 got a very telling preview on Tuesday evening with the running of the Fayette County Championships at Masterson Station Park. The cool autumn day with little wind made an ideal scenario for runners to drop fast times in what would be a good tune-up for regionals.

Movers and Shakers of Week 3

22 Thoughts on what stuck out from each class from over the weekend.  

I have been and ran in a lot of cross country meets in my life, but this past Saturday takes the cake as far as hot goes.  It was nearly unbearable at 9am when the Varsity Boys Race started in Madisonville on Saturday.  The same held true across the state as individual races were cancelled at Madisonville, Shelby County, and the Ryle Invitational’s.    Last week I meant to mention a couple performances -          Sye Head (Logan County) is the top KY runner at the KY-IN Border Clash -          Nicholas Waltman (Sayre) is going to make Jacob Thomson work a little harder than first expected in November Below are some observations from Week 2

  Today at the “Beat the Heat” meet, hosted by Woodford County High School, the meet did just that by providing an excellent early season tune-up for all three levels of cross country- Elementary, Middle and High School. The meet featured roughly 120 athletes competing from Woodford, Sayre, Lafayette as well as a few unattached runners. The weather for the race was much better than it could have been being a nice sunny high 80s day without a cloud in site.
