Welcome to the picture page for The Fourteenth Annual Cross Country Cherokee Challenge from soggy Cherokee High School in Marlton, NJ on Saturday, September 12, 2009.

It rained heavily for 24 hours before the meet, dropping anywhere from 3 to 4 inches before it let-up early on race day. The day was still cloudy and dark, the altered course was still slow and slippery, but thousands of athletes ignored it all and provided a great day of racing! Our special guests, John Nepolitan of Dyestat, and Pat Montferrat of Mile Split/NJ captured the action for their websites. John Nepolitan's report and pictures are at Dyestat, and Pat Montferrat's report and pictures are at NJ Runner/Mile Split, with special edited versions of Pat's pictures available below.
