National Junior Olympics Cross Country Championships 
December 14, 2002, Carrollton, Georgia.
 
 
Carrollton is 50 miles west of Atlanta.  The course was wet.  It was 
below 40 degrees and very windy. For people in our association it was very 
easy with the hills (although people from other parts of the country thought 
it was quite hilly).  

For people looking ahead this meet will be in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Dec 13, 2003, 
and near Chicago, Illinois, on December 11, 2004.            -Bob Shor, Youth XC Chair
