Sep 17, 2024

Another year, another edition of The Southern Showcase in at John Hunt Running Park in Huntsville, Alabama.

On the course that holds both national records and a collection of the fastest times in prep history, it's no surprise that the results over the weekend were pretty quick.

In fact, there were even quite a few athletes that made big jumps from the times they ran at this meet last September.
