2008 Colonial District Championship XC Meet
The DRHS Cross-Country team had a good showing at the Colonial District
Championships last Saturday. This meet, at the Pole Green Park XC course, was held on 10/25/08 and featured cool moist air this year. This course is 5000 meters on mostly flat grass/dirt with a couple of short but very steep - tough hills, and is the site for many central Virginia cross-country championship meets including the Virginia High School Colonial and Capital District meets as well as the Central Region meet. In addition, this year Pole Green Park XC course will be the host site for USATF Junior Olympic Nationals held in December.
