Back home to McAlpine

Go Watauga!  It's the big one!  A lot of good teams trying to qualify for the State Championships.

GoBlueRidge -- "WHS XC at Regionals Saturday" :  Back to our "home away from home, McAlpine Park in Charlotte, for the Class 4A Western Regional Saturday."

Peter finished 2nd last year with 15:50, behind only the eventual state champion, Mark Blackmon.  This year Peter may not be at full speed (the NC Runners interview curse?), although his teammates will be.  Josh finished 5th with 16:00.  The Watauga Boys were 3rd, not far behind TC Roberson and Ardrey Kell.  From last years' post: "Anderson, Brackney, Pitts, Hickernell, and Seagle all PRed, while the Vandenbergs just missed."

Darby is running to win her 3rd West Regional Championship in a row.  She won last year with a time of 17:35.  Madison was 6th, in 18:46.  Both PRed on a slightly muddy course.  Hannah Barbour was 8th.  The Girls team finished 2nd, behind only Ardrey Kell.  From Honea last year: "temporary possession of the RAT."

NC Runners should be previewing 4A Regionals any minute now (2:30pm).

In the West, the weather will be fine.  And if it deteriorates early, advantage Watauga.  Weather Service.  Weather Channel.
