It was a good day to run. A new season. The rain did not start until after all the races, the course was almost dry, and the temperature never rose above 63 degrees. West Forsyth won 4 of the 8 races. Watauga got 3 second place and 1 third place finish in the Junior and Senior races. Athletes from 4 other visiting teams won races.
The Junior races were the fastest. Tim Coffey of Mooresville ran 10:01, ahead of Michael Holland's 10:06. In the Senior race, Garrett Farrimond, of West Forsyth, ran 10:05, in front of Matt Osborne's 10:25. West Forsyth Sophomore Nelson Russ finished in 10:16.
Junior Sophia Bhalla of Lincoln Charter won by a large margin at 12:00. Sophomore Ellen Spencer, of West Forsyth, won her race at 12:21. Watauga Juniors Kathleen Mansure and Lily Weeks finished in 12:45 and 13:09.
One of the brightest spots for Watauga was Senior Andrew Harrelson running again. He has been injured, only ran one race last year, and was not at full speed in 2011. He ran 11:59. Not bad for his first race back.
