Part 1 - The Scene
The great race in cross
country is the Great American. Now in it's 3rd year, the Great American
continues to attract the best in cross country. This year 616 high
school teams participated with 4800 runners--that's a triple increase
from the first Great American. This year the sight of the Great American
was the Winthrop Farm Meadows, which is part of the n grounds of Winthrop
University in Rock Hill, South Carolina, just over the North-South
Carolina border. Once pasture meadows for the Winthrop Dairy Farm,
today the grounds are a recreational area used for a variety of events
including cross country racing.
