The Wildcat Cross Country team got its season underway at Norbuck park on Saturday morning.

The annual madness that is the Greenhill Relays is an event like no other. The unique race attracts many of the top teams in the state.

Instead of a traditional three mile course, the race is a six mile relay broken up into 1.5 mile segments for each of the four runners per team.

The girls and the boys all run on the same course, at the same time, and the start/finish line is also the exchange area where the runners pass the baton (which is actually a glove) for each leg of the race.

As cross country meets go, the Greenhill Relays are as entertaining as it gets and a lot of fun for everyone involved.
