We have reached the half way mark of the 2011 XC Season. Depsite cancelled meets due to heat and rain it's been an exciting 5 weeks.
There was a full slate of races and performances across the state in week 5. Perhaps the most impressive performance was the amazing run by the defending state champion, Samantha Nightingale from Blue Springs South at the KC Metro Championships. Samantha took advantage of the cool day and fast new course to turn in a performance that I supsect will be talked about for many years to coming covering the new 5k course in 17:15.
Samantha's time was not the only great performance throughout the week:
