STXXC Tiger Run 2023

St. Xavier High School is pleased to extend this invitation to your schools boys and girls cross country team(s) to participate in the 2023 TIGER RUN. Due to construction at the Water Tower, it will be held at Oldham County High School (home of the Haunted Woods XC Course) on Saturday, August 26, 2023. We are very grateful to Coach Weyland & Oldham County High School for supporting Tiger Run and generously allowing us to use their facilities this year! As in the past years, we will use chip timing.This meet has been sanctioned by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Entries are limited to the first 35 schools in each race. In the middle school division, a team consists of up to 7 runners, scoring the first 5 finishers. Middle school is considered to be grades 6-8. In the high school division, a team may consist of up to 10 runners, scoring the first 5 finishers. Because of the size of the fields for each race, no school may enter more than one team in the Varsity high school division. Seniors may run in the B-Squad race.
