This year's Mason Invitational Cross Country Meet promises to be as good as ever with a new record number of athletes and teams competing.  This year the meet boasts teams from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and South Carolina for the first time.  The course is in great shape, the summer rains have provided some nice grass, but is it still hard enough to run fast.   On the boys side, the meet looks like a showdown between the best of Ohio vs. the best of Kentucky.

Much of this meet obviously depends on who runs what.... but regardless, this meet will be loaded, and some great battles will no doubt occur. In the 110 Hurdles, the matchup between Asad Maiden of Mason vs. Joey Wilkin of Westerville North and the ever-improving Leonard Staten of Wayne should be a great start. The 300s should also be fun with 8 athletes coming to the meet all under 41, and a few under 40.
