Greetings Cross Country Coaches:     May 20, 2022

     We are pleased to announce that Queensbury High School will be holding the 18th Annual Queensbury-Adirondack Cross Country ClassicInvitationalon Saturday, September 17, 2022.  Our mission is to organize and host a championship quality meet, which will hopefully attract some of the top teams from New York and surrounding states.  This will be the same course that was run for the 2005 and 2013 New York State Cross Country Championships.  The races will be held at the Queensbury School campus on our mixed-surface 5,000-meter course.  The course will be run entirely on grass and trail surfaces and this is a true spike course.  The course starts with an open field of 400 meters from the starting line to the entrance of the trail system. There are no road crossings and the trails are wide and smooth with packed dirt, and mulch finished hills.  The course will offer 555 meters of open field from the exit of the trails to the finish line.  The 5K course is rolling and fast with 2 challenging hills located at mile 1 and mile 2.  This is also spectator-friendly course, and will offer participants and spectators alike a running festival atmosphere with entertainment, public address, food and music!  New in 2022 - The site for the Section 2 XC Championships!

     The results will be available within :15 minutes of the conclusion of each race.  Team awards will be picked up at the results tent and copies of all results will be offered immediately after awards are posted.  Individual awards will be handed out at the end of the chute (Medals/Top #25; Ribbons/Places #26-#75 in each race), Modified through Varsity.

     We look forward to seeing you and your team and hope you will consider attending our event.  Make plans now to enter.  The entry blank and a fact sheet are attached and are due by Friday, September 9thth!  We will be using MileSplit NY to register for the meet. For instructions on how to use MileSplit NY see the information enclosed.  Good luck with your season in the coming year!

Sincerely yours, 

Matt Flint - Head Coach
