Go Watauga! Go Seniors!

Volunteer for the Valle Country Fair Saturday, at the Valle Crucis Park.  Especially for late afternoon shifts.

Maybe the biggest meet of the year Wednesday.  The Nothwestern 4A/3A Conference Championship is at Freedom High School in Morganton.  Every team can go on to the regionals, so this is just for bragging and tradition.

UPDATE -- Boys start at 4:45pm and Girls at 5:30pm.

Watauga ran 65 athletes in the 2 races last year.  This will be the last meet for some of the Watauga seniors.

Directions:  There are directions to Freedom High School, Morganton, under Directions, in the column to the left.  But last trip to Morganton, the team went through Avery County to avoid the construction in and around Blowing Rock.  G Map, 1:13 from Boone.

Also, in case you stop reading this week, don't forget:

• There should be a banquet about mid-November.
• Usually a dozen or so Watauga athletes run at the Foot Locker South Regional on Nov. 30 in Charlotte.  You don't have to qualify for this meet.
• Will there be a kids' race next week?  Maybe not, if the university is no longer sharing the intramural fields. 
• Keep running.

Update:  NC Runners has their team rankings up.  It's best to ignore them.  Just run the races against whoever shows up.  (But Fred T. Foard does have the #10 and #12 3A teams.)
