Cross Country Interest Meeting

From the Buzman:
Patriot Cross Country Men,
Both Boys and Girls teams will have our interest meeting this coming Wednesday
(4/25) IN SMALL GYM AT 12:20pm. Please pass the word.

Thanks Everyone

With just under 10,000 page views, the 2011 season proved to be great fodder for the fans of Albemarle Boys Cross Country. I just wished to thank all that supported the team, and this site, as well as contributed great photos for all to see.
I am hoping someone else would be interested in taking over this blog. For various reasons, I will be unable to spend as much time on it as I have in the past, but wish to see it continue. If you are interested, please shoot me an email.
Thanks,
Mike

Adam Visokay Advances to Portland

Senior Captain Adam Visokay placed second overall at the Nike Southeast Regionals Saturday, and qualified to advance to the National Championships on the Nike Campus in Portland, OR on Saturday December 3rd. His time of 15:08 shaved a full eight seconds off his PR, and is now the sixth fastest time ever run by a high school student athlete on the Cary, NC course. Adam's 15:16 at the Great American XC Festival earlier in the season is still among the top 20 all-time finishes. Adam will fly out to Portland Thursday, for an all-expense paid trip to the west coast. Congratulations Adam, on an incredible year, and best wishes on Saturday.

More posts to follow this week, including links for the live video feed of the National Championship race, and mid-race updates from Adam's timing chip.

Nike Southeast Regionals Championship

The AHS boys team finished fourth at the Nike SE Regional Championships in Cary, NC Saturday. Led by Senior Captain Adam Visokay's second place finish, the team greatly improved upon their 21st place finish last year. Ryan Thomas and Ben Deal were both under 16 minutes with times of 15:50.0 and 15:54.20. Chris Springer ran a 16:31.20, and Will Hunt rounded out the scoring with a 16:59.90. Zach Gentry (17:34.70) and Aaron Elder (17:43.40) finished 6-7 for the team. The team average of 16:05.12 was a second and a half better than the third place team. AHS was predicted to finish 6th or seventh in the most competitive field ever at the SE Regional. The fourth place finish put them in the running for an at-large bid to the finals. Congrats to the team, and to Senior Will Hunt for breaking 17 on his last race.
