Chapel Hill was invited to participate in the Nike Team National race to be held in Portland, OR for the 2nd year in a row.
Coach Olsen told me he received the call about 4:30.
"I was a bit surprised and the boys are wired!"
Last year the boys team finished 12th in the race led by Jack Bolas' 2nd place finish. They lost their top 3 runners, but were able to get back again.
It has been a wonderful year for the Chapel Hill boys as they are undefeated, including big wins at: the WNC CC Carnival, Adidas Raleigh Invite, McDonald's Maymont Invitational(VA), and the NCHSAA state meet.
Chapel Hill isn't the only NC team headed to Portland though. Mooresville, after an outstanding season and a huge improvement from many runners is also going to participate in the brand new Open race.
"And, it'll be nice to have another NC team there as well - it's great that Mooresville is racing in the Open," said Coach Olsen.
Good luck to both teams. The race is December 2nd.
