This will be the last meet for James River until the Region 2C meet at Christiansburg on May 26, as the Three Rivers District does not have a home meet. Lord Botetourt will be participating in the Blue Ridge District meet at Franklin County on Saturday. That’s scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., and the Region 3D meet will be at Staunton River on May 26.
