Busy Week for Kanawha Valley Track, Softball

This week I have another schedule full of high school coverage working with The Charleston Daily Mail.

If you're a track athlete/fan, they'll be plenty coming this week in The Daily Mail.

I interviewed Charleston Catholic track coach Scott Welch on Sunday for his thoughts on his 10th-ranked Irish squad after placing fourth at the Gazette/Friends of Coal Relays during the weekend. I'll have a story on the Catholic girls track team for Tuesday's edition of The Daily Mail, as well as a blog post to follow with some extra information and statistics that did not make the article.

On Thursday, I plan to visit Poca, which hosts the Cardinal Conference Track Championships. Among my plans, I'll visit with Dots senior hurdler Josh Crites as he works to defend his all-state status in the final weeks of the season. I'll have a story on that in Friday's edition of The Daily Mail.

Also, for Friday's Daily Mail, I'll preview the Mountain State Athletic Conference Track Championships, which will be held Friday at the University of Charleston's Laidley Field.

So, there's something for track fans of every class. On Tuesday, Catholic will represent Class A schools, while I'll take a look at Crites and the Cardinal Conference (AA) Championship on Friday, as well as AAA's MSAC championship.

With each event and article, I'll do my best to post blogs with extra material that did not make articles.

For softball fans, I'll be covering Wednesday's action in the Class AAA Region IV Section III Tournament. Nitro is set to play St. Albans at St. Albans 5 p.m. Wednesday. The loser will face Logan 30 minutes following the completion of the first game.

My coverage of that evening's second game will be in Thursday's edition of The Daily Mail.

So check The Daily Mail and check back here if you're a fan of Kanawha Valley softball or track. There should be something for everyone. Thanks for visiting.
