Some of Watauga's top runners have been spotted at swim practice. More than expected.
Looking ahead:
The cross country team is done for the year but several individual runners will be running Friday night on a track at Reagan Two Mile Tune-Up. One former Watauga runner (now at NCSSM) will be there. NC Runners Preview.
Then comes the big Foot Locker South Regional meet in Charlotte--McAlpine on November 26. About 15 Watauga athletes ran at that meet last year. People come from all over the region: Texas, Kentucky, Virginia, Florida.
Banquet Monday night, 11/14.
Looking back at the state meet: Honea Boys' video, Honea Girls' video, Honea Boys' analysis, Honea Girls' analysis. Also, see the NC Runners recap (again).
Meet officials corrected several runners' times. Madison ran a PR 18:42, in addition to Bryan's PR 16:34!
Also, Honea looks ahead to next year's Boys' meet.
Looking back even further, to 2010: "Last year, the Watauga girls ran the fourth-best average time in state meet history" and "Peaking at the right time? Help from front runners? A much improved #5? All these things gave Watauga the advantage over some of the other teams hoping to pull off the runner-up spot." NC Runners link.
And looking back even farther, to races at McAlpine over the years (from NC Prep Track), Watauga is 3rd in both Boys and Girls. Among Watauga's top times ever at McAlpine: Vandenberg, Middlebrook, Barbour, Harman.
