Owen 4th in Pung's finale 3A State Meet Preview
The 3A
meet is this Saturday at Tanglewood
Park. It seems that on paper 3 of
the 4 state titles are locks, and
that the girl's individual title is
up for grabs. However, as we know in
running, anything can happen.
TC Roberson's girls looked to be a state and SE region powerhouse this year with the talent they were returning. Have they run to expectations? That's not for me to say. They had an outstanding race in the Race of Champions at the Great American XC Festival finishing 11th. Then at the Wendy's Invitational they put two girls under 19:00 and set a new school record for "team average". It doesn't look like any other team can touch them this year. However, Reagan, Catholic, Asheville, Walter Williams, and Jacksonville have been running well this year. Can one of them step it up and battle TC Roberson? We'll see.

The trail run starts at 9:30 am; the Fun Run at 10 am and the Tot Trot at 10:30 am. To register, volunteer or take part in the Fund-Racer donation drive, go to www.autismsociety-nc.org and click on WNC Run/Walk for Autism link, or call the Asheville office at (828) 236-1547. On race day, there will be old-time music, children’s activities (including a fire truck & an appearance by TED E.

The WNC trail run is a satellite run, taking place the same day as the 8th Annual Autism Ribbon Run in Raleigh, which is expected to attract some 1,600 participants this year. All proceeds will go to support North Carolina families caring for individuals with autism. Today, there are about 30,000 individuals living with autism in North Carolina. The N.C.
