Unalaska is about to host the high school cross country running Region 1 Southwest Championship.  This weekend’s races will decide which teams and individuals will represent our region at the State Competition. Several varsity runners from the UCSD team joined Vic Fisher in the studio this morning for another episode of Island Interviews.  They told Vic a bit about the upcoming events, and how the UCSD team is shaping up this year.  If you missed it, you can hear the interview in its entirety here.  The girls championship will start at 11:30 AM on Saturday, September 26, followed by the boys at 12:15.  The top ten individuals and winning team will compete at the state competition in Anchorage on October 3^rd.  There will also be a JV and community run on Saturday, and this event begins at 12:45.  All races start and end at Kelty Field in Unalaska Valley.
