2010 college cross-country season in the Tallahassee area

The weather may not have given a hint of it yet, but cross-country season is coming. I can't imagine how many high school teams there are within a hundred miles of Tallahassee. It would be like guessing the number of jelly beans in a large jarful--where the number keeps changing and all the jelly beans are different sizes. Keeping up with all the high school meets in that area would be even more difficult. Many high school races haven't been scheduled yet, will be largely unannounced before they happen, and there will be no record of them after they're held.

The colleges are a different matter. There aren't that many of them in the area, not all of them field cross-country teams, and their schedules tend to be settled and published in advance of the season. Based on those schedules, here are the college cross-country meets that are taking place this season in the Trouble Afoot! coverage area (i.e., a hundred miles or less from Tallahassee). Maybe there's one near enough to you that you can get out and watch the harriers.
