XC Regionals 2015: Watauga Boys Return to State

In a race filled with career PR's, a pair of senior runners delivered 'out of their minds' performances to ensure a return trip to the state meet.  Matthew delivered a career PR and team season best of 16:30 to pace the boys with a team best 6th place finish, while Devin continued the season long PR assault by removing another minute or so from his PR and was personally witnessed to pass at least a half-dozen competitors in the final push to the line as the 5th scoring Watauga runner.  In between Josh and Price went about establishing sub-17 career PR's and Grant powered to a strong finish.  Only injury to season leader, River, likely prevented the team for challenging for a regional championship.  Sam and River also competed with the varsity squad.  This crew will be racing in Kernersville again next week!

The Watauga girls varsity squad was led by Emma B who recorded a career PR (21:26) and 54th place finish.  Finley and Ella continued a return to form from injury and posted strong season best finishes.  Emma T. and Anna completed the scoring for varsity team.  Nicole and Molly also competed for the varsity squad.  Ladies your preparation to regain the conference championship begins now!  Complete race results can be found here.  Photos of the event here.

Northwest 3A/4A Conference Meet

Matthew took individual conference champion honors and paced the boys squad who placed 5 runners in the top-10 to easily secure another team conference championship.  Other scorers for the conference champion varsity team included Price, Josh, Devin, and Grant.  Sam and Aiden also finished in the top-15 for all-conference honors.  The girls were paced by a 5th place finish by Emma B., and all-conference performances by Finley, Anna, and Ella.  The team finished second in the conference, just 10 points behind Hickory and well in front of third place.  Complete results here.  Photos of the event here.
