The Dash for Doobie has been one of the premier events of the cross country and track season in North Carolina with many athletes posting break through 3200m performances while in peak form from the cross country season.
A major benefit for NCHSAA athletes is the event that participate in indoor track can use their times to get into the indoor state championships for 2020, if under their classes designated standard.
New for 2019 is the Dash for Doobie Scholarship. The meet with now award 1 senior boy 3200 participant and 1 senior girl 3200 participant a one time $500 scholarship.
"Due to the success of the Dash for Doobie we are excited to expand the scholarships offered. We are now able to give two scholarships to Reagan HS seniors each year in Nicholas Doub's memory. This wouldn't be possible without the great support we get each year. After last year's Dash for Doobie I met with Nick's family. They expressed an interest to give back to the runners that have helped this event become such a success. So this year we will give out two $500 scholarships (1 senior boy and 1 senior girl) on Nov. 23rd to New Balance Dash for Doobie participants. Any senior who is planning to enroll in post secondary schooling and participates in the the Dash for Doobie is eligible. Information and an application can be found on the meet page." - Coach Eric Fritz, Meet Director
