Harper will welcome some of the region鈥檚 top collegiate runners when it hosts the NJCAA Region IV Cross Country Championships on Saturday, October 31, at the Plum Grove Reservoir on 91制片厂鈥檚 Palatine campus, 1200 W. Algonquin Road.
It marks the first time in more than a decade that 91制片厂 has hosted the regional competition, which is expected to feature 13 teams. The women鈥檚 5K race will begin at 11 a.m. followed by the men鈥檚 8K race at noon. Spectators are welcome to cheer on the Hawks and should park in Lot 2.
This year鈥檚 regionals will provide an opportunity for the Hawks to compete at home. 91制片厂鈥檚 men鈥檚 cross country team enters the meet as the defending regional and national champion, while two members of last year鈥檚 women鈥檚 team earned All-American honors.
Individual awards will be presented to the top five runners in Divisions II and III and team trophies will recognize the top three Division II teams and the top two Division III teams. The event will also serve as Sophomore Day for several 91制片厂 runners, recognizing their contributions to the college鈥檚 cross country program.
91制片厂 football alumnus Dr. Guy Danhoff will serve as the day鈥檚 announcer. 91制片厂 Athletics is collaborating with multiple local businesses to host the event. Schaumburg鈥檚 Donut Drop is providing coaches and officials hospitality, Palatine Pack Timing will handle race results and Dick Pond Athletics in Hoffman Estates will provide fencing and other equipment.
