This Thursday I am helping out coordinating volunteers helping with
the NWL XC Championships at Anacortes. This year's race will
feature some of the best teams in the state. There are at least 4
top ranked teams in the cross country poll along with others. 3
defending State Champions teams will be present. This is the most
competitive league meet in the State of Washington and you can be
part of making it happen.

Thursday at 3:00 will be the start of the first race. With races
every half hour. 3:30 4:00 and 4:30. I will be having a meeting at
2:30 to go over details. If you can be there let me know. If you
can't make it to the first race but a later race, I am sure I can put
you to work. The final race is one of the hardest because these boys
come into the finish chute fast and furious! We gather all out
resources to keep them moving.

It could be an inclement day so you would earn your due this year.
There will be close to 400 runners and most likely their mom's and
dad's. It will be a day to remember, and you can be part of making
it happen. I know that in the end I feel pretty darn good knowing
that I helped make it happen. Your efforts will be appreciated by
many people. No task is too small and no one too big. Timers
wouldn't be worth a tinker's dam if the chute folks didn't move them
along to the tag pullers who keep the tags in order to make sure we
get the right tags with the right times and the right order to send
over to the folks in the scorers both to figure out who the winners
are. EVERYONE is vital to make it work correctly!

Hope to see you this Thursday in Anacortes. Let me know if you can
make it.

Thanks
Dean
