The 2024 Florida State Cross Country Invitational, also known as the FSU Invitational (Pre-State), is scheduled for October 11-12 at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida. This event has a long-standing tradition as a significant pre-state meet for high school teams. It’s not only open to Florida high schools but also to middle schools and middle school-aged clubs, given it’s sanctioned by the NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations).
The final meet prior to the SEC Championships is set to start with the men’s 8k at 6:40 a.m. CT on Friday, and will close with the women’s 5k at 7:20 a.m. This weekend’s meet will not be live streamed.
Teams competing at the Florida State XC Invitational alongside LSU will be Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic, Florida State, South Florida, Troy, UCF and others.
Last time out the Tigers competed in Fayetteville, Ark., at the Chile Pepper XC Festival where the women put on a stellar performance, finishing in front of a ranked Arkansas squad.
