Fear not, track fans! We're not done just yet.
The 18th annual Music City Distance Carnival, held annually in Nashville, Tennessee, remains on the schedule for Saturday at Lipscomb Academy after race organizers delayed the event in an effort to ensure larger safety protocols surrounding COVID-19.
With the right features and protocols in place, MCDC will continue to offer some incredibly fast performances,and thismight be the last track meet for high school athletes before our attention turns to cross country in the coming months.
Organizers instituted mandatory COVID-19 testing ahead of the meet for athletes:
Athletes will have to get tested in their city of residence prior to traveling to Nashville. Testing will also be offered in Nashville according to USATF guidelines. However, given the (typical) 36-hour delay to receive test results here in Nashville, athletes will have to be here at least 48-72 hrs before the event to ensure test results are received on time before the competition.
Below we have highlighted high school entries for the event. More information can be found on the MCDC meet page.
