    Thanks to everyone who submitted results from this past week. We received data from most of the Montgomery County meets and Loudoun County. Those results are filtered among the area's top times and on those teams' respective pages. The Virginia district meet results are embedded in Paul's write-ups. We're hoping to be able to get the results onto the meet results page and into the top times by the end of this week.
    
    

    Your pages keep
    getting better!

    Seven team pages to check out...
    
    The Blake, Gaithersburg, Churchill and Yorktown pages have write-ups from almost every one of their meets this season. Rockville has updates from the past two weekends. Madison has a recap of its Liberty District victory and Northwood recently added some great pictures.
    
    For those of you interested in uploading video to your team page, here's the link for how to do so. And, as always, send any story ideas you might have to info@reachforthewall.com.

    Where to find them

    Meet results and top times are now available!! See the area’s top times here and the meet results that have been submitted so far here. To find your school click here. To see a sample meet result click here. And to see a sample individual results page click here. If you don't see your meet results, there are now two ways for team representatives (coaches, athletes, parents, league administrators, fans) from around the area to send them to us.
    It requires team manager or meet manager, but it's a very simple process. Read more about it HERE. The school pages will not only display your schedules and results, but will allow registered users to write about their team and post photos and videos. We'll display the best of those posts on the right here on our homepage.
    
    Good luck this season and thanks for your help!
