Wartburg College Athletics

SATURDAY, SEPT. 30, 2023

We're excited to host the 7^th Annual Steve Johnson Invite, Sept. 30th here at Wartburg College's prestigious Max Cross Country Course (host of multiple NCAA regional and national meets). The meet continues to grow, which is an exciting thing for Midwest XC. With Minnesota and Wisconsin schools returning this year (as well as awesome Iowa returnees and additions – and yes, the meet is NFHS-certified), the meet will be at its very best! For those curious about how the course runs, last year's results can be found here.

2023 Results can be found here after the race concludes

Additional Meet Information:

• We have home football, soccer, and tennis all on Saturday, so following parking procedures is a must. Buses should park along 12^th St. (north of the railroad tracks) or 7^th Ave. NW. NO BUSES SHOULD PARK SOUTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. Small vans or cars can park off 12^th St. in the Shady Acres Parking Lot or off 7^th Ave. NW. If additional parking is needed, vehicles can park on the south side of campus (near Bremer Ave…roughly ½ mile from the course).
• Team camps MUST BE NORTH OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS. We have a large field south of the starting line which is big enough for all of your teams. Do not put up team camps south of the tracks, as we will have football and soccer tailgating going on.
• Similarly, please advise your athletes not to warm-up south of the tracks, near the soccer fields.
• Reminder: Maximum of 10 varsity runners and JV entry is unlimited
• We have a record board with top-10 All-time individual performances and past team results on the back of the award stand. You can also find that information on the Wartburg website.
• No one is allowed in the W Athletic Center, outside of weather emergencies.
• There will be 30 Porto-Johns on the course.
• Please advise parents to stay back from the finish-line chute
