Dearest Clubbers,

The temperature cools, and the legs start to freshen up. The cool fall breeze sweeps across our beautiful campus, promising sweater weather and pumpkin-flavored delicacies. But wait. Is it real? Is this just a trick to raise my hopes? Will it once more return to the blistering heat of the summer? Only time will tell.

Recapping our week, we had a lovely Yopo run and frisbee + soccer on Friday! Dues-paying members have started flooding in in preparation for our first meet at App State in two weeks, and WORRY NOT! I will be bringing shirts this Thursday to both regular practice and the indoor track. 

Here are a few announcements

1. Signups are open for the App State Meet! This will be a 5K start to the season, so you’ll get to judge yourself based on your high school standards. How fun
2. Signups are now open for the HOME MEET! Don’t want to travel? Try out our home meet in our very own Carolina North Forest! This is usually our most well-attended event of the year, and we’d love to have as many members as possible come to show out. 
3. WOOLEN WEIGHT ROOM 2-3:15 TODAY. I’ll see you there.

Other than that, I would like to say best of luck to all teams competing in the Blue Ridge Relay this weekend. For those who don’t know, Blue Ridge is a 204-mile relay race that takes approximately 27 hours and starts in Headlands State Park, VA, and ends in Asheville, NC. It is a grueling race up and down the mountains, and I sincerely hope all 3 teams come out the other end injury-free.

Love,
