No Stanford Invitational in 2019
Per the Stanford meets website:
Cross Country: The Stanford Cross Country Invitational will not be contested in 2019.
When the Stanford Invitational wasn't held two years ago, many suspected that this meet was on it's way out. With Stanford hosting Pac 12s last year, the meet made a one year return and it now appears that this meet will eventually vanish from everybody's schedule for the foreseeable future. Unless there is a coaching change to somebody that sees value in this meet, it appears that we will all be looking for another meet during that late September weekend. For us Division V teams, this was one of the few opportunities where we were able to race other teams our size and was a great preview of the state meet. I know many of us coaches/athletes will miss this meet.
It has been confirmed that next year, the CCS meet will be held at the Crystal Springs course provided there are no air quality issues.
Lastly, I am going to start posting a preliminary schedule of cross country meets so if you have meets that you would like to add to the calendar, please post those below.

I will be posting a preview of the CCS Top 8 meet tomorrow. In the meantime, feel free to comment on any of the most competitive events. It doesn't appear like the meet will have as many of the top competitors as it usually does and that may be because of the spring break dates this year. Nonetheless, it should be a great night of competition.

Photo of the week
While working on the CCS Top 8 meet preview, I noticed this one photo from last year's section final in the boys' 3200m. It was taken by Pietro Brezzo. Very cool.
Feel free to share some of your favorite photos in the comment section below if you have a link. If you want to send the photo to me as an attachment, go ahead and do so to albertjcaruana@gmail.com and I will be happy to post.

Unsportmanlike or not?
LSU beat Houston to win the Texas Relays 4x1 in 38.41! 😈 pic.twitter.com/R7nESJrqxb— FloTrack (@FloTrack) March 30, 2019
I know I have seen lots of discussion about this but was curious what you thought about the LSU sprinter's reaction after the race. Was it bad sportsmanship? Good for track? Thoughts?
