After years of watching other states offer an opportunity to race on the state championship course prior to the state meet, the PIAA has orchestrated the inaugural Hershey Cross Country Invitational at the once-raced Hershey Parkview course. According to PIAA Associate Executive Director Robert Lomberdi, the meet is set for the 4th Saturday of September, the 22nd to be exact. There will be four races, and a limit on the number of teams per race. Watch this site or the PIAA site for the entry form early next week. Don't call the PIAA, please.
There will be a limit of 40 teams per race. The first of the four races will be the AA girls at 10AM, followed on the hour, by the AA boys, AAA girls, and AAA boys. Teams will be allowed a maximum of seven (7) runners and not be allowed to enter fewer than five (5) runners. 10 individual per race will receive awards.
