The 44th version of the longest running high school cross country championship in the U.S. takes place Saturday at Balboa Park.

Claudia Lane of Malibu was a two-time champion but where does her fastest time rank all-time among CA girls at the XC National Championships?

Sophia Nordenholz ran 16:46.00 to win D-IV last November, the No. 5 fastest time ever on the 5K Woodward Park course at the State Championships.

Two weeks removed from her record run in Rhode Island, Katelyn Tuohy (North Rockland) was once again pushing full throttle.

The 40th Clovis Invitational is a mid-season showcase for the best of CA to sample the Woodward Park course used for the CIF-State Championships, and the expected debut of nationally-ranked Liam Anderson.

There were question on how Katelyn Tuohy might follow up what may have been the greatest Prep XC Campaign ever, last year.  If her performance at the Ocean State Invitational in Rhode Island is any indication, we haven't seen anything yet.

Breaking down the race, the reactions, and where we go from here.

Brief thoughts on the National Scene

It would be a huge mistake to overlook the teams and individuals competing on day one of the world's biggest cross country meet.

Amber Trotter, as expected, became the Footlocker National Champion today. What no one expected is the manner in which she did it.
