The USATF (Track and Cross Country governing body in the United States) hosts a series of meets after teh state championships.

There are a few Sheridan runners interested in continuing their season running some of these races. We are planning to team up with some runners from Watkins Memorial and Lancaster as well as anyone else in the Muskingum Valley League that might be interested.

Our goal is to have fun and more importantly get our running community closer by doing something besides competing against each other!

I am currently trying to contact the coaches of all MVL schools to see if they would like to work together on this.

Back in the day... We had a team of Crooksville, Sheridan, and Zanesville runners that qualified to the National Championships in Portland, Oregon. The trip was a blast. We met new friends and learned a lot to help us all train and race better!

This year the Race Schedule is as follows (including links to information)
