We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Not to highjack the thread, but did anybody notice that the runner who broke his leg while helping the U.S. win a gold medal in the 4x400 relay yesterday -- Manteo Mitchell of Shelby -- is a Western Carolina alumnus?

US Mens only won silver. That was a preliminary that he broke his leg in. US lost to Bahamas in the last 20ish meters after leading for over a lap.

Well you aren't out until you have 3 strikes. Very good effort to keep his team in the race.
