Cross country runners can breathe easier now.
The state has altered health guidelines regarding mask wearing, now allowing participants in high school cross country meets to drop their masks from covering their face once a race begins.
That should come as welcomed news for runners in the 4A/3A Greater St. Helens League, which are scheduled to hold its first cross country meets on Wednesday. The 2A GSHL will hold season-opening meets on Thursday.
