there was talk about moving football to spring. How about moving xc to January-march 1? With all the fall sports being cancelled this would interfere with indoor track but perhaps they could go on simultaneously.
Basically I heard it said that we are trying to fit the the virus into our schedule. We need to look at moving our schedule to fit into the schedule of the virus.

There are many areas of the country where it would be impossible to run XC in January.
I am from a northern winter climate and would find a way to make it work. Drive 4-8 hours and you could likely find decent racing weather/climate. Besides athletes travel in january and february for indoor track. They also chase weather in march and april for outdoor track. The US championships are early february so there already are high level xc competitions that time of year.
It won't work. Fall is cold and dry while late winter and early spring is wet after snow melts and frost goes away. Many venues would not even allow cross country at that time of the year due to the damage that would be caused.

Sorry the average team will not drive 4 to 8 hours. Championship calibre athletes will always find meets but this idea would be horrible for the grassroot programs from youth through HS.
NYS XC meets have been postponed in mid and late November; there is no way winter meets would work in the northern states.
Why do you think indoor track is even a season? Maybe we should also just have outdoor track in January.
XC should be able to compete as usual
