TMSAA Cross Country State Championship to be held in Clarksville on Saturday, October 7th.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAmateur sports recruitment has been, and continues to be, one of our top priorities,\u201d says Visit Clarksville Chairman Jerry Allbert. \u201cWe have first-class venues for a wide variety of events, we\u2019re centrally located, and we have plenty of hotel rooms to accommodate state-wide events. This makes Clarksville a great sports competition destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

2017 marks the third year for Clarksville to host the cross country state championships. Visit Clarksville officials estimate that visitor spending surrounding the event this year will total $182,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could not hold this event in Clarksville without the hard work and dedication from the APSU Cross Country coaching staff and players, the Visit Clarksville staff and Hilldale Baptist Church,\u201d said Richard McWhirter, TSSAA Assistant Executive Director. \u201cWe always want our competitors to have a first-class experience when they make it to the state level, and Clarksville\u2019s volunteers and venues help us meet those expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the 2016-17 fiscal year, Visit Clarksville hosted 27 sports events for basketball, soccer, cross country, track & field, baseball, road and cycling races, softball, horseshoes, and football. These events brought 53,804 visitors to Clarksville-Montgomery County who spent an estimated $13 million while here.<\/p>\n
