My XC schedule at my school got changed and we are no longer going to some large XC meets within driving distance in favor of smaller, obviously cheaper, meets. My coach said this was due to "budget" issues, but honestly, how much more does it cost to go to lets say, Paul Short than a smaller 10-12 team meet in Mass? Assuming they are equal distance traveling wise. This would be for 2 teams of 7 guys/girls.
