Coming Up

The Jay High cross country teams are hosting the J.D. Mac Halloween Cross Country Invitational this Saturday at Jay City Park.

Because the event is on Halloween, runners will be able to paint their faces and wear a suitable costume for running.

The meet will be the last big area meet until district tournaments begin on Nov. 7.
