Relays this evening, starting at 5:00pm. UPDATE

Tonight's meet will be 4 X 3000 meter relays, not usual 5K races.  Watauga should have a lot of teams competing against each other, in addition to the other school's teams.  (So watch out, Kathleen or Michael might be gaining on you.)

UPDATE -- Coach Mac says everyone's running at 5:00pm, so they should be done by about 6:00-6:15pm.  So maybe they'll be back to WHS much earlier than 9:00pm.  (Also good because there will be more runners on the course.  It can be pretty lonely running the last legs when everyone is spread out instead of clumped.)

Here are directions again.
St. Stephens High School in Hickory.
Take Hwy 321 south to Lenoir.  Turn left onto Hwy 18/64.  Turn right onto Hwy 90/64 towards Taylorsville. Go about 14 miles on 90.  Turn right onto Hwy 127 before Taylorsville.  Go about 12 miles.  Cross over the Catawba River.  At the top of the hill, turn left onto Cloninger Mill Road. Continue on Cloninger for 1 mile to the light.  Road changes name to Kool Park Rd.  Go straight for two miles. Turn left onto Springs Road.  Go 1/2 mile.  Turn left at the light.  Look for St. Stephens School signs. (1:15, according to Google Maps.)  

I apologize for the disruption of this blog for a key weekend of the season.  I've learned a little more about the domain name business.  The domain, or web address or URL, wataugacrosscountry.net now belongs to someone else (who benefits, I guess, from the heavy traffic).  However, we now have rights for 3 years to wataugacrosscountry.org, which was the domain up until the summer 2011.  I will try to set that up over the next few days.  At that point, both wataugahighcrosscountry.blogspot.com and wataugacrosscountry.org should work.

I have a bid in for $20 in for the rights to wataugacrosscountry.net.  I'm sure it will not be available until the traffic dies down.  Even then, maybe it's too valuable.  (Maybe I'm motivated or dumb enough to offer more, right?)  But Watauga Cross Country ran for many years without a website at all and in recent years with a different web address, so I think it will not be any great loss.
