This should be a great meet!
The boys race should have Cl.Springs winning
but the next 5 spots should be up in the air
Girls should have Williamsport winning
from there on I'm lost
Any Thoughts?/

Could be a tight one one the girls side. It looks like Williamsport put 3 ahead of Southern's # 2, but then Southern had 5 ahead of Williamsport's #4 runner. It is going to depend on the spaces in between at regionals I am afraid.
The big question on my mind is: What happens if Northern's boys soccer wins tonight and must play Thursday. I would at least think that Bowser would miss the game and run the meet, but I'm not so sure about the rest of the team. I would like Northern's soccer team to do well, but at the same time, they have a cross-country team that could make some big noise at the state meet.

Well it looks like Northern and Beall will play in the Semis, but the Times-News lists it as Thursday. I don't know when they are playing. I do remember that the semis are usually on Friday - hopefully that is the case and the Times-News got it wrong. If they do play on Thursday, it will be at 7:00 or so, so I think that they have enough time to run the meet and then make it back for the game, but I don't think they would do that.

As of now, the semifinal game is thursday but with enough complaints it might be changed. Ryan will be at the regional meet, with or without his team

Here is the latest as of 10:45am:
The state set the semifinal games up for the 3rd and the 4th. The only way this could be changed is if both teams agreed. Beall approached the Northern AD about changing the game and he agreed. That brings us to now. The Northern soccer coach does not wish to play on Thurs. I have been fighting tooth and nail for these kids to run. Along with Ryan's parents, the soccer coach and several others. As of now the powers that be are trying to change the soccer game to Saturday afternoon/evening. At the very least they are going push it as far back as possible tomorrow. It is my feeling and hope that Northern XC will be represented by a full team tomorrow in Clear Spring. This is a bad situation that could have been avoided and should have been avoided. It is a shame that the powers that be do not put the student-athletes first in their minds when they make these decisions.
That is what I know now. If I am in front of my computer when I find out more I will pass it along.

Thanks for the info, Zach and for all of the comments. I agree that this is a bad situation. I don't like to see young kids have to live with decisions made by higher powers that are not totally in their favor. Let us know if anything new happens. Zach, you have done a great job with those guys all year and they have really earned a lot of respect from the area coaches and athletes. I really don't want to see this come down to a scheduling conflict.

Here is the latest.
The soccer game is still on for tomorrow. However, they pushed it back until 8:30. Ryan is definitely going to Clear Spring. Myself and the soccer coach are going to talk with the soccer team this afternoon. After that it is going to be up to the soccer team to determine if they want the kids to do both. I'll let you guys know what happens this evening.

Just to let everyone know. Northern will have 5 guys at Clear Spring tomorrow including Bowser. It is my sincere wish that we qualify as a team in Cross Country and Northern soccer beats Beall tomorrow night at FSU.(sorry Jaron)

That is quite alright, Zach. It should be a very good soccer game tonight. I am glad to see that you have a scoring team going. I think that you guys should have no problem qualifying as a team. Unfortunately, I can not make it to the meet (or the soccer game), but it would be exciting to see the boys qualify a team and then to have the soccer team pull the upset. That would be quite a day for Northern athletics. I think that it is something that both teams are capable of doing, so good luck!!!

Congrats to Ryan, he ran a great race. Carney led early but Ryan was able to pull it out. The field was very talented in both the boys and girls races. States should be interesting next week.

Eric, great recap of the meet! I am upset that I had to miss such a great meet where the area was so well represented on both the boys and girls side. Looks like there were two great soccer games as well last night. It just goes to show you that the athletics in this area (all sports) are really on the up and up. I was very impressed with the team results last night. Good to see Southern girls and Fort Hill girls in and looks like the Northern boys could walk away with a runner-up next weekend unless Beall trumps them, but I think those guys owe Beall a beating after that soccer game last night. I can't wait to see it next weekend!!!

What happened to Cole? Early in the season he looked to be one of the top guys for sure.
I haven't ahd the time lately to track results and stuff this season, but I was surprised to see him not in the mix at Regionals.
