The 2014 Kentucky State Cross Country Meet was as good of a collection of 6 races that I have ever seen in my 20 years of attending state meets. There was excitement and mystery coming into the races, some of that played out as expected and then as always the surprises do happen. Before the KY State Meet, I posed the Top 12 Questions Going into the KY State XC Meet and now we get to see what really happened on these questions.  Check out the next 12 slides a recap of the KY State Meet and how those questions played out.

Class A, AA, & AAA Mid-Season Recaps

Kentucky's Top finishers and teams at Great American in North Carolina.

It’s that time of the year again, Ladies and Gentlemen. The calendar has turned and August is upon us, which means XC season is just around the corner. As part of our Pre-Season coverage kickoff, we are bringing to you 5 stories to watch out for in the upcoming season.

The weather for the race was perfect: sunny, with temperatures in the mid 60’s.  Nothing could be better with the day… except the course itself.  The trail through Devou Park awaiting the girls was filled with formidable hills that had more than a few girls nervous.

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.

Cooper High School is a team that is on the brink of potentially breaking into the big three this season in Class AAA this season.  St. Xavier, Trinity, and Daviess County all have history but Cooper has youth on its side (school opened in 2008.) 

It’s always a good insight on both sides to be able to see how the races play out and teams stack up in the pecking order when the small schools are separated from the large schools at the Lexington Catholic Invitational. It’s as close as we will get to a preview of the state meet and it makes for great races all day long.

If you are willing to put in the work, you will not be surprised by your success. The Cooper Jaguars put in the offseason work and it led to a fast start to the 2012 boys cross country season. (via CommunityPress.com)
