Just as it has continuously over the last few years, The Southern Showcase in Huntsville, Alabama saw a ton of high caliber performances.

Teams from eight different states made their way to the historically quick John Hunt Running Park, as five different races on the boys side were full of huge improvements from last year's meet to this year's edition.
