Bronx, NY - Van Cortlandt Park has weathered the storm, both figuratively, and literally. Over 10,000 athletes took to the backhills of Van Cortlandt for the Manhattan Invite, rain or shine. Only the very best in the Northeast managed to walk away with one of the trophies most likely to be taller than they are. We were on site with all the coverage you could ever want.

The Five First Men, and the Original Stotans
Saturday marked the ten year anniversary to the day when the world found out about a new cross country superpower arising in central New York. In 2004, ranked only third in the state going into the meet, the Fayetteville-Manlius boys were matched up against US #1 CBA in the Varsity Letter C race, prior to the boys inclusion of Easterns race. As the race exited the woods, FM led a five man contingent to sweep the race with a perfect 15. Since that day, FM has been a staple of NY and US Cross Country prowess.
