Why do coaches and athleteslove the Eastern Relays?
Why exceptional athletes & teams love Eastern Relays... For many teams and athletes whoare the best in their local community, region, or state it can be a challengeto find great competition to push them to be their best. Those exceptionalteams and athletes love Eastern Relays because every year there are nationalclass competitors and many of the best teams from OH, TN, IN, IL, MO, WV, andKY.
The great competition at Eastern Relays prepares these athletes and teams forthe intense competition they will face at state and national championshipmeets!
Why really deep teams love Eastern Relays... The qualifying system forEastern Relays allows exceptionally deep teams (including NXN qualifying crosscountry programs) to race LOTS of their athletes. For some of the deepest andbest teams in the area weekly invitationals often limit teams 2 runners perevent and All-comers style meets don't offer high-caliber competition. TheEastern Relays allows teams to enter ALL athletes who meet the qualifying mark, and ALL may score. Great runners should not be punished for having greatteammates!
National Class Races, Close(r) to Home:
Many of the nation's best track meets happen on the coasts. Eastern Relaysprides itself on being one of the best meets in the middle of the country. Yearin and year out the states surrounding Kentucky produce some of the best
athletes in the country (despite variable weather and the seasonal challengeswe all face).
Some athletes can hop on a plane to race in California or elsewhere,but for most teams and athletes the cost (or sanctioning) prevents that.
Eastern Relays is within a 5-hour drive of Chicago, Dayton, Cincinnati,Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, and lots of other areas with great runners inbetween. These areas are talent hotbeds as evidenced by results at Foot Locker
and Nike Cross in the fall, as well as all the national track meets in thewinter, spring, and summer! Save money on a plane ticket and drive to the 'ville!
