This year on September 8th, cross country teams from around the region will meet at The Farm Course at Kutztown University for PTXC-4... in 2012, presented by New Balance. We are thrilled to welcome the support of such an established brand in our sport.
Now in our 2nd year on our great new venue at Kutztown University, we plan to continue to improve on the fun atmosphere that is unique to cross country and this meet.
This nationally certified, all-grass course is a true cross country challenge. No killer hills (It is, after all, early season). It is fan-friendly by using two loops which pass the start/finish at about the half-way point, and then goes over a new section before looping backward for the final mile.
And we are holding the line on costs to help schools deal with budgetary challenges - our Varsity rate is $100 per gender, and our JV is $50 per gender.
2012 will have all the cool stuff from PTXC-1, 2 and 3, including chip timing, great awards and entertainment, meet T-shirts for sale, and more to be announced in the coming months.
Top runners in our first 3 years have included 3 Foot Locker finalists - at least one per year - including the eventual national champ in 2010.
The meet is open for online registration using the MileSplit system, and closes when the meet reaches capacity.
Sanctioned for NY, NJ, MD, DE, WV and OH. Others as needed.
PTXC-3 welcomes all of our 2012 competitors for what promises to be a great day of cross country.
