Asthma/ severe brohncial pain brought on by allergies???

Well, one year ago I raced a cross race and I decided it wasn't for me after a really severe asthma attack. I previously had no asthma history. Flash forward to this year and my coach somehow talked me into racing cross again.
In the same amount of time on the course, the identical thing happened. Now, I raced 30 or so road races and crits this season with no problems with asthma. It wasn't a anxiety thing, and I have definately gone a LOT harder over the season. Now I do have pretty bad hay and grass allergies. If I weedwhack for about a 1/2 hour I am a total itchy mess. Could the 50+ riders kicking up all sorts of grass and stuff in my face have caused an asthma attack (or some sort of severe respitory pain)? Any similar expierences?
