Cross Country at Lenoir- Rhyne College -
Friday September 21st
The Warren Wilson team traveled a mere 75 miles out of the mountains to a hot, humid, sticky southern fried cross country meet in Hickory, NC. The little stubby white Owl bus parked next to several mammoth buses which tends to speak volumes about what the competition will hold.
WWC was the only small school there, and even though told not to worry, the warm and fuzzy coaches did just a bit. The race goals remained the same (turns out, real runners set more goals than us weekend runners – “hope I make it back to my car”—they decide how quick each mile will be, hereinafter called Pacing).
So the question, in a field of big-bussed-fancy-gym-bagged-paid-to-run- runners with tents and massage therapists and trainers and PROfessional drivers was, can the owls keep their pace in such a fast field of runners?

For youtoobusytoreadmore, the women’s team finished 6th overall, with great lessons in pacing, and the men finished 5th overall.

Women’s Soccer
The women’s soccer team traveled to North Greenville U and fought hard to keep the Crusaders off the board, but not quite hard enough to get themselves on the board. The first and most dangerous shot, by school-teacher-to-be-Christy Barron, came just five minutes into the game, but their tall fast defense kept all other attempts at bay. The harder the women fought to get on the board, the more the other team fell onto the pitch in tears, causing the refs to stop time (yeah, refs can do that) and completely break up the concentration of the hard to focus Owls.
The North Greenville game ended up 0-0, with not enough light left for overtime.
The women traveled to another sleepy little South Carolina town Tuesday night to play under the lights against Southern Weslyan. SWU got their first goal in 2 seconds before the end of the half. The Owls got their heads down – we’ve got to work on the head spinning thing, it’s much more effective – and got scored on two more times by the Weslyan Warriors, leaving the score 0-3.
The ladies have a break from all the reffing and uniforms and clocks and such, competing in the 24 hour run this weekend. Their next game will be against the enemy down the road,
Montreat College- October 3 – at 4:00 at home.
Men’s Soccer
The opposing men from Ferrum University showed up with a spy –Andrew Pauley, a teammate of the Owl’s assistant, Andrew Radecki, is now the assistant coach of Ferrum University. Both Andrews tried their mediation and peacemaking Warren Wilson skills to curb the frustration of marginal reffing, rude fans (ours), mad coaches (both) and the heat that came out of nowhere. Two Warren Wilson men were ejected, meaning the team had to play down, but the Owls held strong and still kept the score 0-0 even after extended minutes for overtime play in a 9 v 11 match.
The men played without Luke Bernard and Max Bressor on Tuesday against a formidable Emory and Henry team from Virginia. Our fans were downright hospitable this go round, thanks to some stern conversations from our spunky dean, and love sticks placed on the benches by the athletic crew.
The sticks held the face of Brett Buffinton who had an outstanding day diving and leaping and sprawling and punching the ball away from the net. The E and H Wasps had two great crosses that were finished by their tiny forwards, so tiny that the mere shadow of Grammaw Ballard, Phillip Campbell and Stefan Janjic made them very hard to see.
The men play again, hopefully with a full squad, at home against the fighting Mormons from Southern Virginia at 4:00 on October 5- Homecoming weekend.
