Boys Eastern States race added
The Manhattan XC Invitational calls itself "the biggest and the best" and the 2008 version, slated for October 11th, 2008, will add to that claim as meet director Ed JJ Bowes has announced that the Boy's Eastern States Championship race has been added to the program. As with the girls race, teams will have the option to enter directly into the championship race while the remaining boys varsity races will be equally seeded. This new format will allow for top teams and individuals to go head-to-head on one of the nation’s historic courses.
Along with the added championship race, there will be computerized scoring for the first time. CFPI Timing, which manages many major meets around the country, will provide fast and accurate results.
The 2008 Manhattan Invitational has also added three races in an effort to reduce some of the volume, bringing the day’s schedule to 40 races. In some cases last year, races numbered over 400 runners The first gun will fire at 9:05 a.m. and will continue all day with the last race going off around 3:49 p.m. |
