Last week of GCAC Elementary XC

Grove City Athletics Club,

This week is the last week of GCAC Elementary cross country for this season. We have a lot of great events this week, culminating in the Mercer County Athletic Conference (MCAC) Cross Country Championship on our home course!

Reminders:

We will be hosting the MCACs on Saturday, 10/19/19. The event will include less teams than our home invitational, but possibly have more spectators due to the local teams. Please consider signing up to volunteer or make donations for concessions. Items can be dropped off in the shed (attached to the restrooms) Tuesday during our home dual meet or Friday from 3:30-5:00pm.
