44th McQuaid Invitational 2008

The 44th McQuaid Jesuit Invitational in Rochester, NY will take place this weekend and bring together team from New York, Pennslyvania, Ohio, and Virginia. Additionally, over 30 teams from Canada will make the trip south over the border.  

McQuaid, Suffolk Coaches, and Ocean State lead the way this weekend as ArmoryTrack.com spreads out and tries to cover as much as possible.  FM vs. Burnt Hills at McQuaid should be about as exciting as it gets.  The Hoffman Invitationl at St. Lawrence shoudl be a great NCAA DIII meet as it previews the natioal qualifier course.

The 16th Carlisle Invitational is shaping up to be quite a show this weekend.  On the boys side the top 6 ranked teams in the state will be in attendance, and top 5 for the girls.
