Kathleen to Kernersville! Michael and a lot of PRs.

Kathleen will be running at the state meet Saturday at 4pm.  Kernersville (Exit 203).   It's worth seeing the races.  Watauga will be back soon.  The 4A races should be good.  Maybe Green Hope will be stopped finally.  News coverage around the state.

GoBlueRidge on the regional meet, quoting Coach Mac: ""Kathleen has been steady for us all season," McDonough said. "She got in there with a strong effort on Saturday. It's disappointing that we didn't qualify any of our teams. But Kathleen will represent us well at the state meet next week. I'm proud of her, and I have a lot of confidence in her.""

Coach Hoyal:  "Saturday saw some great racing at our Region Meet at Charlotte's McAlpine Park. Despite the overwhelming amount of PRs our runners set on the day, we still came up short of a team state qualifier. However, our Kathleen Mansure managed to place high enough in the girls' race to qualify for State next weekend in Kernersville. Congratulations Kathleen, and to everyone who gave it their all last Saturday."

Not much consolation, but Michael Holland ran a strong race, and that was a wall of solid PRs behind him Saturday.  This was a tough year in some ways, but maybe more for the observers than for the athletes.  From the start, Watauga seemed to just want to run and get on with the future.  They took care of the conference championships.  Congratulations, and if it was hard not being #1 or #2 or whatever, thanks for hanging in there.

Foot Locker and other races are coming up (and summer's not far off either).  There will be a banquet in a few weeks.

This came up on news search of XC Watauga:  " . . . and sophomore/freshman Hailey Middlebrook (Boone, N.C./Watauga) (20:10.4) rounded out Michigan's seven-person squad at today's regular-season finale, as . . .  Middlebrook finished the race 52nd."
