NASHVILLE, Tn–In March of 2019, TSSAA approved a complete separation between public and privates schools. This comes after a twenty-one years  two divisions were created. Many ‘old-schoolers’ yearn for the traditional battles that were derived from long-standing neighborhood rivalries. There are a few schools who still compete in non-regional play, MBA v Pearl Cohn, for example; but for the most part, it is a rare competition where the winner is really, the best in the city after a competition.

Presently, Division I and Division II meet to compete against at track and cross country city meets and invitationals. These two sports still offer that opportunities for Nashville athletes to be able to say, “I am the best in the city on this day.”  This Nashville Nashville tradition  goes  back 40, 50 even 60 years.

The Nashville City Cross Country Championship

e City Championship Cross Country Meet which is held every year at Percy Warner Steeplechase. At this event, the best runner with the best time earn a medal recognizing he or she is the best there is in Nashville.
