What makes this meet truly different?
UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. “The Glavin”
“The Glavin” is in memory of Pete Glavin, resident of the Hilton School District and former meet director of the McQuaid Cross Country Invitational. Pete’s influence on the Rochester area running community extends well beyond McQuaid and Hilton. Pete was also co-founder of the Genesee Valley Harriers. Pete is and will continue to be missed. “The Glavin” is a collection of the best distance runners in the area to run 3200m (boys) and 3000m (girls). “The Glavin” will be run during the Saturday Night Showdown.
