In terms of competition, things will look a little different this year as in the past with new division and league assignments. Like cross country and outdoor track, there will only be four divisions with the same boys’ and girls’ schools competing in the same divisions – Dwyer, Bayha, Headley or Sullivan. The class meets will also feature the same schools. Below are the division and class assignments as well as a schedule of all the RITCA and RILL meets and some popular out-of-state competitions. Marathon Sports and HOKA will be sponsoring two of the meets listed, the second annual Winter Warrior HS Invitational at The TRACK at New Balance (Dec. 29) and the East Coast Invitational at the PCTA fieldhouse (Jan. 18).
