V 9 N. 16 A Unique Kind of Cross Country Meet in June

As most of you are aware, this blog is rapidly slowing down in its production capacity.  However the following literature came across my desk recently and I just couldn't resist posting it on our network.  It is simply a chance for old timers to get together in their area and have a friendly run repesenting their old high schools.  You of great trivia knowledge may recognize West Milton, Ohio as Bob Schul's hometown.  I'm not sure Bob will be running in this, but I'm certain that some of his former athletes and fans will be in attendance.  Best of luck to Kyle Klingler and Ryan King who are organizing and sponsoring this event.    George Brose

All, Almost one month away from the Alumni XC Race! So far, 10 teams have been created from around the Miami County area and surrounding! Remember, this race will score like a typical XC meet so a team will need 5 in order to score and participants must run with the high school team that they attended! There is also the option to run unattached without a team for anyone not interested in taking place in the team competition. Other big news, Jeff McDaniel has graciously offered up his house to host the after party event for those wishing to hang out after the race for a drink and to catch up! There will be a lot of room for parking, however to save any possible room it is recommended to carpool with others from Milton Union High School for the after party since his house is only 10 minutes away. Some drinks may be provided but it is recommended to bring your own. Also, ordering pizza may be an option and we ask that anyone interested bring a few bucks to help chip in if they wish to eat! Weather permitting, there will be a bonfire and cornhole! And a final reminder to wear any old jerseys, shirts, etc. to represent your old team! Could be a fun addition to see the history of different XC programs and a cool way to show some spirit!  The link to register is below. Make sure to sign up and keep spreading the word to others. Currently, Troy Christian leads the way as the biggest team so our plan of claiming the highly coveted Alumni XC Champions title is looking nice and easy  https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/WestMilton/CSRCAlumniXCMeet  Thanks, Kyle Klingler  On Sun, Apr 14, 2019 at 11:07 AM Meredith, Michael <MeredithM@muschools.com> wrote: I have the course ready.  Its a 2500 meter double loop with the start and finish in the infield.  We will have a great time.
