Dear Coach,

I hope that all is going well and that you and your athletes are having an exciting track season.  I know this is early, but I wanted to get this information out to you and invite your program to our home cross country meets.

On Friday, August 9th 2025 we will be hosting the Dawson Short Course and we would like your teams to participate.  This meet will be limited to about 20 teams for each day and will feature a 2 mile course for your teams to participate in.  All divisions will run 2 miles. We filled up early, so let me know if you plan on attending this year so I can get you on the list.

All races will feature a flat/fast course and will be a great opportunity to run a decent time early in the season.  If you are interested in participating, please send me an e-mail and let me know. 

Awards:  Will be awarded to the first 15 finishers in the all divisions except the open race, no awards will be given. Plaques will be awarded to the first place team in each division.
