Patrick Gregory is a junior at Butler High School in Louisville.  He just finished up a sophomore year in which he ran new best times from 800m to the 5K.  He is ranked Top 10 nationally in the 1600m/3200m in the Class of 2014.

Is the Junior Class the greatest class in Kentucky history?  That is tough to say exactly as there as been a whole lot of running over the last 100 years in Kentucky.  But it is proof positive that at this point the junior class is the best over the last eight seasons of track KYtrackXC.com has covered.  Let's look at the chart below as a starting point.  The Class of 2014 blew away the rest of the previous sophomores years with ease on the boys and girls side.

My trip to New Balance Nationals began with another long car ride. I headed to North Carolina on Wednesday morning. We stayed with one of my mom’s friends, who we also stayed with when I go to Foot Locker South.

The 3rd Annual Dream Mile will be held Friday night at St. Xavier High School in Louisville.  This still young event has quickly grown into the best mile/1600m race in the state annually with much speculation over who will have the times to be invited to the race.  There will be one race for the boys and girls tonight with the ladies leading off at 8 PM.

The indoor track season should start off with a bang with the annual Wildcat Classic held at Nutter Fieldhouse in Lexington at the University of Kentucky.

  The Greater Louisville Classic will be held on Saturday at Tom Sawyer Park in Louisville.  KYtrackXC.com will be live on-site for all the College and High School Action.  Check back for Live Updates.  This is a preview of the high school action for this Saturday.

  KYtrackXC.com Power 10 – September 30, 2011 These are the top best teams and individuals in the state of Kentucky regardless of school classification. These are not your typical rankings in the sense because without classes the KY State Meet would have more depth so a team’s 5th place runner in Class AA who normally scores well enough with a 18:00 is suddenly too far back to matter in a one class system.  The need for top runner is similar, that is obvious it is just on an exaggerated scale.  

The 2011 Trinity/Valkyrie Invitational has a lot going for it.  The oldest meet in Kentucky not to mention the biggest has made Louisville the place where several of the best from all the surrounding states meet to showdown.  This year’s version is no different with nationally ranked runners and teams from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Ohio in attendance.  In total close to 3,500 runners will roll on a super fast course with a great weather forecast projected.
