Ryan in the second lap. Is he trying to smile?

Mont Alto hosted a Commonwealth Campuses cross country race yesterday. The track, laid out by coach Mike Doncheski circled the campus and included a run in the Michaux State Forest around the water tower on the new logging road. About 5o runners competed from all over the state. Forestry student Ryan Thrush came in sixth overall. Mont Alto's Riley Wingert came in seventh. Thanks to the forestry club members and all the other volunteers for making the meet a success.

Forestry Day 2007

Will this be a new tradition? The Woodmen Team gave a great demonstration of the different events as members qualified for the North Carolina meet. It was great to see the alumni who came back to see the current team and show how it's done. Next year will be bigger and better!

Twenty Mont Alto forestry students participated in the Oak Road cleanup in the Michaux forest near campus yesterday. The most unusual item we found this year was a small truck hood and two tires.

After the work was done everyone went to Arturo's for pizza!
