I wish I could have been there. As an old runner (famous only by association)I too remember lining up with the boys for X-C meets 74-77 and running for and being captain of Chapel Hill High School’s X-C (Boys only) before Title IX. I get that every runner feeling too whether I know anyone or not. My only regret is I get to watch this beautiful, tough, exhilarating sport so little.

Nice thoughts, Joan…it was a beautiful day at the State XC meet.

But these things wreck my nerves. I can’t watch the starts because, having never run fast or been remotely associated with XC prior to having one in the family, my heart feels like it’s going to leap out of its chest at the start. Also, given the very close calls the team has had the past 4 years, I just get rattled.

As a CHHS parent what amazed me about this weekend’s event was the support of parents whose kids and former CHHS XC runners had graduated last year or the year before. It was some weird timewarp to see them hollering and clapping just like they had in previous seasons.

There was a lot of heart and talent out there this weekend, and it was great to see friends from “rival” teams and to sit in a chair and talk to Natalie - she is a devoted fan and I know one day her big brother is going to remember how supportive she was in these early years.

And sometime after the awards, as folks were heading to their cars, I stopped to look the place over. Will I go back next year to watch, or can I let it go, and watch and/or do other things? Certainly I’ll miss Tanglewood, the trees there, the colors, the tents, the school banners, and the tide of shade that crosses the open fields late in a November afternoon.

The past four years have been beautiful in many ways, most of them beyond the competition.
