Nike Southwest Regional Championship

Coaches Kohuth and Scudamore will again attend the NXR SW Championship in Mesa, Arizona on November 18, 2023. 

Information on the race is here: https://nxrsw.runnerspace.com/eprofile.php?event_id=302&title_id=214&do=title&pg=1&folder_id=269&page_id=484

Coach Kohuth will enter athletes who express interest in attending. East Boys will run one of the Large School races. East Girls will either be in a Large School race or may be invited to the Championship Race. Athletes are responsible for organizing their own transportation and accommodations, though we try to coordinate travel plans. Coach Scudamore is renting a minivan and will be able to provide transportation on Friday to inspect the course and for a team dinner and on Saturday to the meet and back to the hotel for a few athletes who stay in the same hotel (see below) or nearby. Please email Coach Kohuth and Coach Scudamore if you are interested in competing. This is traditionally a fun way to extend the season and run on an all-grass course near sea level against athletes from Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
