Coaches-
On behalf of Owensboro High School, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you and your team to the 8th annual Kentucky-Indiana Border Clash to be held on August 21st, 2018 at Yellow Creek Park in Owensboro, KY. Our vision in planning and establishing this meet is simple: Kentucky and Indiana both have a long tradition of great teams/individuals that rarely race each other...we want to have an early season meet to bring them all together for a great competition! We feel this meet will be very competitive and loads of fun for your athletes. We hope that you will consider participating. This race will be chip timed by 40LB sledgehammer Productions out of Newburgh, IN.
