Remember, these are open Cross Country meets--those limited to only invited athletes are not included here. What that means is that closed Junior, High School, Collegiate or Invitational events are not listed here--those organizations publicize their events to those whom they will allow entry. If they (apparently) will accept open entries (members of the public not affiliated with specific teams), they are listed here.
