- Greenwood KY sr Ryan Eaton, defending 3A state champ there, took a fine 3-way All-American Championship boys battle in 15:40.35, five seconds up on Baylor TN's Brandon Lord (15:45.40) and Columbus GA's Charlie Sparks (15:52.12)
- Brookwood GA girls scored two in the top eight and all five in the top 21 to score 65 in the All-American Championship girls race. Alpharetta GA was 2nd with 91 in the 15-team field. They were followed by Baylor TN (124) and McGill-Toolen AL (127).

Preview
This first-year event is being hosted by meet director Steve Bedsole and the same local management team that hosted Great American XC Festival during its 2006-08 run here, as well as the NXN SE Regional in 2007, and that plans to hold the USATF Junior Olympic XC meet in 2010. It will be contested on the same course at Veterans Park in Hoover AL that has hosted and will host the above-mentioned meets.
Ninety-three teams and 1,163 athletes from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee will participate in the event.
On the boys side, the field is led by SE#1 Brookwood GA, coming off a huge victory in this year’s Great American race in North Carolina. SE bubble teams Hoover AL and Trinity KY are probably the most likely challengers. Houston and Ensworth, though, are two of the top teams in Tennessee that could challenge.
Individually, Trinity KY jr Jake Wildenmann will be one of the favorites after his 15:34.89 for 7th at the loaded Trinity/Valkyrie Invite KY. Brookwood #1 man Tommy George is another top contender after his 15:43 at Great American, as is Hoover sr David Hudman.
For the girls, the competition could be a little more wide-open. Individually, it could be another victory for McGill-Toolen AL frosh Carmen Carlos, who was the Gold Division champ at the Jesse Owens Invite last weekend by 28 seconds in 18:04. The Owens meet runner-up, John Carroll Catholic AL soph Rachel Roberts, is also in the field.
