Wyoming High School Cross Country Week 1: Aug 28-29, 2020

Cross Country will make its 2020 season debut this weekend.

The current COVID restrictions call for a limit of 112 total participants in a meet. You also cannot have more than 30 runners at the start line at a time. Social distancing must be maintained before and after the race.

This has created a vastly different looking schedule on the opening weekend than typically found in the past, such as no one is competing out-of-state.
