It's Loucks Week, and the best action on the East Coast is ready to kick off. Check out the best performances per event over the last ten years.

There are many cross country races taking place this upcoming weekend.

A look at the best PTXC times in the meets history since it moved to Kutztown.

The annual Manhattan Invitational is hitting 45 year milestone, and with it comes plenty of history.

With over 7,500 runners and 250 teams, the McQuaid Invitational provided some of the best national XC action this side of the Mississippi River.

There are many reasons athletes love to race PTXC in early September. Hear what three of them have to say...

With the spring season finally dwindling down, (only Mary Cain is still competing from the High School ranks of NY), there are still athletes competing.  And competing well at that, as Rai Benjamin, a junior at Mt. Vernon High School, utilizing his dual-citizenship, took to the Antiguan National Champs at the end of June.  It was there when he got a wind-legal mark of 20.88, making his just the third New Yorker to break 21 seconds in state history with a wind-legal mark.  However, in the Empire State, the state record was set by a junior, therefore any class or state records were out the window.  But that means he only needs to repeat the performance next year, to take the senior class record of 21.02, set in 1985.  We'll all be watching the clock come 2015.

We took a look at who who were the most popular female high school track & field athletes this past year on MileSplit across the nation. See who made up the the top 25 most popular and viewed high school girls athletes on MileSplit over the past year

Elk County Catholic senior Kennedy Weisner enters her final year of XC with a champion's resume. As a junior when she won her first state cross country title - this one in the inaugural Class A Championship. Weisner also qualified for her first Foot Locker Nationals. During indoor, she was invited to her first Millrose Mile, and also to the Brooks PR meet, an elite gathering in the Northwest. She came back in outdoor to capture two state AA titles, winning the 800 and the 1600 - a very tough double. She began her final XC season at PTXC-5, setting a course record of 17:49. An injury hurt her chance to repeat in Class A in XC, and sidelined her until December. She won the Millrose Trials Mile and finished 2nd in the Millrose Games. This was her third year qualifying for the Penn Relaya Carnival Mile - taking 5th as a sophomore, 3rd as a junior and 3rd as a senior. She went on to PR in the 800 at the Loucks Game, taking 3rd... and repeated the 800-1600 double wins in PIAA States in AA.

There is a bit of a mid-distance renaissance occurring this year in Pennsylvania on the indoor track circuit and it is incredibly exciting.  To most fans in the know this should come as no surprise as there are a host of talented runners in the state.  But the girls mile in particular now features 4 runners under 4:50, and that is pretty incredible for indoors.  

Coverage of the high school events for the 2014 Millrose Games, set for Saturday, February 15th at the Armory in New York City.

Senior Kennedy Weisner is a repeat Millrose qualifier and is coming off a win at the Millrose Trials in January.
