WNC XC Carnival

 

River paced the boys to a team best (in the last two years) third place with a 10th place finish (16:51 -PR too?) in the Championship division at the XC Carnival in Hendersonville yesterday.  Also scoring for the varsity squad were  Matthew, Grant, Josh, and Price.  Expectations increasing for the remaining big invitationals?

The young girls squad was led by Anna finishing 20th (22:14) in the Invitational division.  Emma B., Emma T., Nichole, and Finley also scored for the varsity 12th place finish.

Daniel McAdams led the boys Invitational race squad, finishing 90th (19:33), while Johannes Shultz-Colon finished tops (51st; 21:19) in the boys Individual race and Emma Kate (30th; 25:43) led the girls in the Individual race.  Brianna finished 15th (14:10) in the girls JV 3K race.  Complete race results here.  See Coach Shaw's photos from the race here.

Next racing Wednesday on 9/2 at the Caldwell Invitational in Lenoir. 

Clash of Classes

The 2015 season kickoff continued with racing on the new abbreviated version of the home course Saturday.  Some familiar opponents along with some new ones -the Daniel Boone High athletes were fast!  The top Watauga finishes were delivered by freshman Emma Beach and junior River Rhodes.  Top-10 Watauga finishers in their respective classes also included Ella, Anna, Finley, Josh, Price, Grant, and Matthew.  Photos of the event may be found here.  Complete results on NC Milesplit here.

The team will look to build on racing experiences last week during the first big invitational and 5K team race next weekend in Hendersonville.
