Finish Line

The 54th Annual McDaniel-Baxter XC Invite

We hope you are able to join us for what should be a great day of racing on the hills and trails at Chenango Valley High School. This years events will begin with the Rebecca Mercik Run/Walk in memorial of our former athlete. Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Rebecca Mercik Scholarship fund. There will also be a Warrior kids fun run prior to the awards ceremony.

POINTS OF EMPHASIS

  1. Our course is constantly changing as we adapt to weather, routes, and construction. The final course will be emailed prior to event and will of course include our famous hills!

  2. The distance for all high school races is 4K (2.49 miles) and 2.2K for Modified.

  3. Varsity races have a maximum of 10 entrants and a minimum of 7 (unless your program does not have 7 athletes who are competitive at the varsity level).

  4. Larger schools are encouraged to enter up to 10 runners in the varsity boys race to help reduce the size of the JV boys race.

  5. Individual awards will be handed out in chute.

  6. The Warrior Kids Fun Run will finish on the track immediately preceding the Awards Ceremony. This should give young future distance runners an opportunity to finish in front of the crowd gathering for the Awards ceremony. The Fun Run is a free 800M XC run for kids under age 12. The start for this race is on the Rock Pile near the start for all of the other races.
