DyeStatFL was onsite today at the Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, FL for the 2016 FHSAA Cross Country Championships. Today, athletes were previewing the course and getting to know the lay of the land here in Tallahassee. The races will start tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. This will be the fifth time the FHSAA Cross Country Championships are being held at the Apalachee Regional Park.

Here's a little of what we saw today at the course:
