    The 2011 Cross Country season is ready to kick off in less than 2 weeks.  The Cherokee Challenge is the first meet on tap for most SJ Runners on Saturday September 10th. This meet starts with middle school races and then heads to the high school grade level races.  Middle schools kids run 1.5 miles and high schools runners do 2 miles.  The team title is determined by adding up the top finisher place in each of the high school races (frosh, soph, junior and senior) for a team, lowest score wins. The South Jersey Running Company and Nike will be there once again selling all the latest Nike XC spikes, trainers and clothing.  This year we will be trying to film each race so look back for the videos.
