Earlier this year, Brooks and Fleet Feet announced the Brooks XC Championship, a high school Championship set to fill a void left by Foot Locker's announcement to end their high school championship.

Brooks and Fleet Feet stepped up to carry the 45-year legacy of regional and national cross country meets with the inception of the Brooks XC Championship presented by Fleet Feet which features four regionals and added "Golden Ticket Invites" to the fold. The winners of the Brooks XC Championship at Balboa Park on December 13th will automatically earn a spot on the Team USA U20 World Cross Country team.

Registration is open for the Brooks XC Championship qualifier meets in the Midwest (Nov 29), South (Nov 29), Northeast (Nov 29) and West (Dec 6). The top ten finishers from each region will qualify for the Brooks XC Championship.
