DCL League XC meet

The question is whether it will be postponed to Friday.
The only reason it should be postponed would be lightning. All other weather is "cross country weather".
I have raced in 6 inches of snow, torrential rain, fog so deep you could only see a few runners ahead, frozen slush with impossible footing even for all but the sharpest spikes, and puddles almost knee deep.
The DCLs in 2005:

Start of boys varsity, 32 degrees starting to snow harder. 

and the snow is accumulating for
Sasha Long (Johns Hopkins) and Cameron Fen(CalTech)

Frosh Kelsey Karys NS outkicks senior Stephanie Pancoast WA to win girls varsity.
They became teammates at Cornell. 

pretty tough for the JV boys
but hey, it's XC
couldn't resist; NS winning team by a point. Top three boys teams were 2 points apart.
Team 6th place NS frosh Ben Finch displaces CC 5th runner for the win. LS one point behind CC.... (unless I've mixed up CC & LS)
L-R: Kel Finch, Scott Wehrwein, Nick Abele, Ben Finch, Sam Donovan, Kyle Olson, Clifbar
