The Oakfield Alabama-Elba Varsity Cross Country teams had a fantastic weekend at the 60th Annual McQuaid Invitational at Genesee Valley Park this Saturday morning.

            The McQuaid Invitational is the nation's largest high school-sponsored cross-country meet with 265 total schools competing from all over New York State, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Canada! 

            McQuaid is not only a very fun invitational to compete at, but it is also special to us as we also have our traditional team and family picnic after all our races!
