I was hoping that there would be a web site that would have results from the NWSC Meet this week, but nothing is being posted. If I can find a way to attach them to this blog, I will get them up.
But, I am very proud of the girls this week. Most people would have looked at the fact that we only had one girl running in a final yesterday as a down year, but we had 5 races in which we had someone almost make the finals, which is big in the fact that most were not even supposed to be close! Plus, yesterday, all four of our relay's showed dramatic improvements and either ran best times for the year and/or moved up from where it was ranked coming into the meet, with the biggest jump being the 4x100m team that was ranked 8th and finished 3rd and getting All-Conference honors!! The girls definitely had their best day of the year, and would have been fun to see what this group could have done with a normal spring, and if we wouldn't have had as many injuries/illnesses to top athletes. But, the girls have not quit and continue to push despite the number of negatives they have had to deal with.
The JV Meet for next Thursday at Andover has been cancelled. The Andover team is not getting much interest from their athletes so they have decided to no move forward with the meet. So, our JV runners are officially done, but we would love for them to continue to practice, especially those that are going to be back next week.
Couple of dates to look for in the next couple of weeks:
Today, team voting is after school
Monday, May 27, 6:00pm practice at the track to accomodate those that are planning on being out of town for the weekend.
Wednesday, May 29, Day 1 of the Section 5AA Meet at Hamline University. Meet starts at 2:00 (Meet schedule will be posted next week)
Friday, May 31, Day 2 of the Section 5AA Meet at Hamline University. Meet starts at 11:30
Monday, June 3, Uniform Turn In for anyone who did not qualify for the State Meet right after school.
Friday, June 7 and Saturday June 8, State Meet at Hamline University
Monday, June 10, Team Banquet at CRHS Cafeteria at 6:00pm
If there are any questions about any of this, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny
