The search for
the best young runners in Indian Country
The
next USA Cross Country Championships will be held on February
15, 2014 at the Flatirons Golf Course in Boulder, CO. Since 1988,
Wings has sponsored a men and women's team to represent Native
America in the Junior (14-19) division of this race. The organization
will cover travel expenses and room and board for fourteen student-athletes
selected this December. Aside from competing with the best, the
group will get the opportunity to absorb the culture of Boulder
and the surrounding area through a number of site visits and activities
planned by Wings.
