The Abingdon Invitational has been renamed the Don Cumbow Invitational. Coach Cumbow was Head Cross Country Coach for 43 years, from 1974 until the summer of 2019. He mentored, coached, and impacted the lives of many student-athletes and we felt it only fitting to rename our race. We thank you for attending our race and wish you luck on the remainder of your season!
