Coaches,
I would like to invite you to the 42nd Annual Xavier Invitational held for the first time at Ocean Breeze Park in Staten Island. A tremendously positive thing to come out of the pandemic was the addition of this new cross country course in Staten Island. It is a fast and fun course, it is a great place for kids who are just learning the sport of cross country to get some needed experience and a course that Varsity kids will love.
