- Please review the course maps for changes that are resulting from the on-going project at Van Cortlandt park.
Since our last Meet on October 13, 2007, there have been many significant changes to the Meet. Chief among them are:
- We have signed a multi-year contract with
to be our Meet’s new sponsor.
- We have signed an agreement with C.F.P.I. of Northport, AL to provide electronic timing for all of our races (with the exception of the Intermediate Races which are not team-scored).
- We will have on-line entries through our website which will be done in conjunction with Direct Athletics.
- We are incorporating the Peter Aquilone Boys Eastern States Championship into our schedule. This race will be run just before the Edward J.J. Bowes Girls Eastern States Championship.
- We will not be sending any information via the Postal Service. This includes entry forms and race assignments. All information relating to the Meet can be found at www.manhattanxcinvitational.com.
- Due to the overwhelming entry for 2007, we have decided to add three races to our schedule, one of which is the Boys Eastern States Championship. We are also adding one additional Boys JV Race and one Girls JV Race.
- As a result of these additional races, we will now start the Meet at 9:05 A.M. and the last race will start at 4:04 P.M.
- Unfortunately, because of these changes and rising costs necessitated by the current economic environment, we are forced to raise our entry fees to $26 (per team) for all Team Races and $4.50 (per athlete) for the Intermediate Races. Please check periodically at www.manhattanxcinvitational.com for more information about the Meet.
