Wendy's

GoBlueRidge -- "WHS XC Competes at Wendy's Invite"

Kathleen ran in the front pack for a long time, enough to get her photo here with the winner Myers Park's #2 and #3.  She and Celia ran sub-20s.  The team ran well.  The heat and humidity were not great for running, even for the early races.  It was hot by noon, so we don't see too many big PRs.

Here's one NC Runners view of the results :

Parking at the elementary school (just north of the park, on Monroe) was plentiful, by the way.  They had buses and vans making frequent trips to the park. I waited about 3 minutes total for the round trip.  (They had good air conditioning!  I heard a guy complaining about it a 9am, but nobody complained at 2pm.)

No details yet about who is running at the Ashe County meet Tuesday.  Watauga is not attending the United Way meet.

Volunteer for concessions this Friday.
