Cross Country Coaches:

The City of Asheville has gone to Level 2 for Fuel Conservation.  For this reason many Parks and Recreation programs and services have been cancelled or are on a reduced schedule to help patrons and staff conserve fuel.  The Asheville Fall Classic scheduled for Thursday, September 25 has been cancelled.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

Also please help spread the word; I am missing several coaches from this list and do not want a team to travel to Asheville.
