We typically end our season with our home meet the first weekend in November. Details TBA!
For those that are interested on bigger meets, we can get you information on going to the USATF's national championship meet series, or AAU or CCNYC for x-c , the sites for the national meet for each of these moves each year so it might make sense to try and go to the one that is reasonably close to us this year.
