Middle School Mania! Post Season Opportunities!

Wow!  What a weekend of championship racing on the middle school level, which proved how popular and healthy our sport truly is in NH!  A great culmination to the middle school season which left many wanting more!  Even though there is not a Meet of Champions on this level, USATF Junior Olympics does offer several opportunities to extend the cross country season.  Below you will find the meets available in NH and New England.  One may do this through membership with the local junior Olympic club or unattached.  Visit the USATF-New England website for more information.

  1. NH puts out some of the best cross country talent in the country. Last year Northwood’s Aidan Cox (NH Thunder) became the USATF’s National Champion for the Junior Olympics in Hoover, Alabama. The Granite State Flash (Manchester NH) has sent many athletes and teams to Nationals over the years (and won as well!)
