The 4th Annual Midwest Catholic Cross Country Championships will draw the traditional Catholic schools from Ohio, as well as teams from Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. The meet, formerly known as the All Ohio Catholic Cross Country Championships, will be held this Saturday, September 21st, at Indian Riffle Park in Kettering and is hosted by Dayton Carroll High School's Cross Country Program.

There will be two high school championship races and two high school reserve races, as well as a 2 mile open race that is offered to anyone (coaches, parents, junior high runners, etc.).
