Previews of Saturday's races

NC Runners previews the races, excluding the 2 freshmen races.  Here are results from last year, with many of the same teams.  Of the 8 races last year, Watauga had the 1st place finisher in just 4 of them.  Hannah McBride, of North Stokes, has won her event two years in a row.

Some NC Runners comments:
Sophomore Girls -- "Pay particular attention to (Kathleen) Mansure." 
Junior Girls -- "Linde Wangler . . .  could join the front group."
Junior Boys -- " Keep an eye on Jacob Soulé."

Sophomore Michael Holland had a high finish on that run up Grandfather Mountain in July.  It's also likely that Watauga has several strong freshmen.

Teams expected tomorrow.  Welcome!
The Charlotte Observer's "Area High School Runners to Watch" includes Peter and Josh.  We knew that.  No girls' list there yet.

Great job on volunteering and supplies!
