We are hopeful for a full season of XC. Coach The MSCCA is closely monitoring the status of high school sports in Tennessee and will make appropriate decisions when we are able. At this time we ask that you NOT send in MSCCA dues for the 2020 season. Once we know what the season will look like, we will give updates. We hope and pray that your athletes and families are all well during this time.
Stephen Williams and Eric Hickerson

Since 1976 the MSCCA has been the leader for cross country in the Middle Tennessee area. We welcome any school or individual to join the association. Each school pays a fee that allows their team to compete in our two championships races (Voyles Classic and MSCCA Champs) and any of our midweek meets that can be found on the MSCCA Member Meet page.
Meets found at the Area Invitationals page have their own separate fee. Look at the information linked with each meet or contact the meet director for more information. If you have additional questions, you can email Eric Hickerson at ehickerson@dcstn.org
