Let's hope that Darby is running again soon. But the day was far from a total disappointment.
Actually, the Boys had a good day without everyone being at full speed. Josh had a strong 3rd place and PR. Matt and Carson PRed, while Michael equaled his PR. Drew was just a few seconds off his best time. Peter and Bryan cruised, and the team qualified.
An hour later, Doria ran an amazing 18:59 PR. Lynde and Riley PRed. Madison had a season best time. For 2 miles, the Girls team was on track to qualify in a close contest, and Myers Park would be going home. But we did not quite own the Championship, and Brooke Gordon and Myers Park were ready and deserve what they won. Doria and Madison will represent the Watauga girls next Saturday.
GoBlueRidge -- "Middlebrook Suffers Leg Injury at Regionals": "was forced to drop out of the race after she paced the field through the
first two miles of the race. The end result, T.C. Roberson senior
Brooke Gordon won the individual title." "Josh Anderson paced the Pioneers by finishing third in 15:50. Michael
Holland was 13th in 16:43. Peter Vandenburg, an all-state runner last
season (he finished eighth at the state meet) who has been battling a
foot injury since last spring, was 20th (16:59); Brian Brackney was 21st
(17:00)."
Charlotte Observer -- "Providence Dominates 4A West Cross Country Regionals": "both Panthers teams put it all together Saturday, taking three of the four championships at the NCHSAA 4A West Regional."
