Ashe County Meet Tuesday

Almost everyone goes to the meet Tuesday at Ashe County.  But about 20 of the faster runners will train with Coach Hoyal back in Boone.  Check Coach Mac's e-mail.  (9 days until the Conference Championship.)

The meet starts at 4:40pm.  The Boys goes at 4:40 and the Girls starts at 4:45pm, right behind them.  They should be home fairly early.

Will won on this course last year, but he took a wrong turn first.  Watch out.

Ashe County High School's website says that Starmount (Yadkin County), Allegheny, and Wilkes Central are coming.

Where is the actual course? Probably at the high school.
Ashe County High School is just off US Highway 221.  Map. 35 minutes.

* Take Hwy. 421 South to Deep Gap.

* Turn left on Hwy 221 toward Jefferson.

* School is on right, directly off of Hwy 221.
Additional hint: It's at the foot of Mt. Jefferson, not far past the left turn to downtown West Jefferson. 

Bonus news story -- In recent years, Green Hope (Cary) has been the scourge of NC Girls Cross Country.  They also have 225 runners.
