Friday's Meet is Cancelled

Well, as you can see with the lovely amount of snow that we have gotten, our meet on Friday has been cancelled.  They are wanting to reschedule it to the 18th of April, but we are already committed to the Shakopee Invite, in which we will also be able to have more athletes compete.
We will have practice today, so long as the school doesn't cancel all after school activities.
And so goes the Spring of 2013!! Hopefully we will be out and competing in meets soon!!
Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks

Friday Meet Cancelled

First off, the meet on Friday, the Cambridge Invite, has been cancelled due to snow/water cover at the Cambridge Track.  The meet has been rescheduled to Friday, May 10 (yep, the fishing opener weekend), but we have declined to go, and not because of the fishing, but because we are looking for a good practice day at that time.

Second, there will not be any overall results for last nights meet, but the Centennial coach did keep score throughout the meet yesterday and the Coon Rapids Girls came in 1st!!  Despite the change in some events, the harsher breathing conditions from being inside, and the bit of chaos from having that many people in such a smaller area, it was a very positive start.  It was good for the girls to have the competition type setting and to be going against two other schools.  There was a bit of a different energy compared to the practices, so even though it was more of Time Trial/Scrimmage, it was a good time.  We found somethings that we can build off of and a few areas that we need to work on, especially now that we can start being outside, so we will continue to move forward and see what we can do.

Lastly, as of right now our meet next Tuesday at Centennial is still being planned.  The Centennial coach mentioned that the Track is clear, as are most of the areas, but they are hoping for things to dry out a little more.  Look for us to be going there next week and facing the same two teams.  This will be day that we will figure out who will be competing at next Friday's Irondale Twilight, which will be a meet in which we are limited on the number of athletes that can be in each event.

Any questions, please let me know
Thanks

First Meet

With the weather that we have so enjoyed this winter/spring, we have already had to make a change to our schedule.  Our first meet, April 2nd at Centennial, has been changed.  Because we will probably not be able to run outside by this date, we have moved our meet indoors.  Also, to accomodate this, we have had to change the date as well.  The meet will now be on Monday, April 1st at the University of Minnesota Indoor Track (I will post directions when we get closer to the meet).  The time has also changed and will be later, so please plan accordingly.  It will start at 6:00pm and run until about 10:00pm.  We are still going against Blaine and Centennial, but the meet schedule will be different.  We are still working on the schedule, and I will let you know once we have it figured out.
Any questions, please let me know.  Once again, first meet has been changed, so there will be no meet on April 2nd.  The meet is as follows:
Monday, April 1st, U of M, 6-10pm.

Also, as of right now, the meet on April 5th at Cambridge is still schedule as planned,
Thanks
Denny

For those of you that are families on the team, you would only need to sell 12 shirts or a $75 donation, not 16 or $100.  If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
