Saturday notes -- Coach Hoyal wins uphill race, Championship Wednesday

Coach Hoyal won the run up Howard Knob Friday evening.

The season is almost over.  One more week together for most runners.  Varsity runners will keep training and run at the West Regional back in Charlotte on October 26.  Michael and Kathleen and (I hope a lot of) others will be running at the state meet the Saturday after that.

The Conference Championship is at Freedom High School in Morganton.  Watauga should be the favorite to win both Girls and Boys.  It's going to be close.  Expect a great competition.  Watauga has dominated the Northwestern 4A/3A Conference, winning the Girls 27 times in the last 29 years and the Boys 24 out of 29.  Keep an eye on those Fred T. Foard and South Caldwell runners.  (72 degrees and partly sunny75 and PM sun.) 

There will be only two races, Boys  and Girls --no JV races .  Only the 5 fastest times count (except the 6th and 7th fastest can block other teams' top 5 scores), but everyone runs together.
