Suffolk Coaches Cross Country Invitational

Welcome to all that are looking to run at a very scenic but challenging course close to the Long Island Sound at Sunken Meadow State Park.  The course has a variety of terrains. It starts with a flat three-quarter of a mile stretch that takes athletes both around and over water.  From that point on the course turns hilly.  First it is up and down Snake, a loop around the picnic area, and then a long gradual hill building up to the legendary Cardiac Hill.  After running through a short back meadow, it's a relief to be finally running down hill through the picnic area to enter the Mouse Hole.  This takes you back around the Moat and a flat sprint to the finish. When you are done, you can walk along a beautiful beach to recover.  

Freshmen will run 1.5 miles and all other races are 3.1/5000K.  Again, the course is challenging and the competition level is always high.  Outstanding runners from the past that have run this course at this meet include: Katherine Lee, Laura Whitney, Christine Curtin, Emily Lipari, Laura Cummings, and Jillian Mastroianni.  All local runners that were Foot Locker All-Americans.  On the boys side: Joe Greene, Tom Woods, Joe Hopkins, Kevin Hogan, Brian Dalpiaz, Ryan Sheridan, Kyle Merber, Kevin Krause, and Kal Lewis.  All of these young men from Section XI were either State Class A Champions or multiple State Class winners. 

A great course to test your strength, endurance, and speed.  Come join us on October 13th, 2023.
