Usually the Brooks Twilight Classic in Memphis is the event that kickstarts the Zizzer Cross Country season. And usually, we can expect the Zizzers to only get faster as the season progresses. This year’s Twilight Classic is a great start to an exciting year. We should pray for and expect both Varsity teams to show up and do well at State this year.
