New School Record

Sorry this took so long, was waiting to see if there would be a web site for results, but there have not been any yet for yesterday's True Team Section meet.  Once they are posted somewhere I will post here.  But, the girls showed improvement yesterday in Elk River and finished in a solid 4th place.  We know as a group that we can improve and we are getting closer.  With the poor weather, a lot of girls are behind in the race department, so we are trying to advance them without beating them down.

The biggest event with yesterday's meet was the new school record that Courtney Pasiowitz achieved in the Shot Put.  The former record of 43'6" was set in 1997, and was one that Courtney has been aiming for and was finally able to take it down with a throw of 44'1.25"!!  Congrats to Courtney and we are hoping she keeps moving that record further out three!

Tomorrow is a JV meet at Anoka.  Races start at 3:30 and it will be a normal schedule of events.  There is no time schedule, and some years this meet has gone by really fast and others it is dragged.  I believe there will be 5 teams, but it could be as many as 9.

Finally, the team pictures will be on Friday after school at the track.  All athletes will get order forms tomorrow and will need to wear their uniform for the team picture.

If there are any questions, please let me know.
Thanks

Mega Meet/True Team

Sorry I didn't get this posted sooner, but was waiting for a link to the results so I could put them on here, and they didn't show up until this morning.  Saturday was a tough day with the weather, and it was going to be difficult for PR's, but there were a few that were able to fight through the elements and had their best days of the season.  So here are the results: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4VP82uerTj1NFBxT0xDd2hucWs/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1

As for tomorrow, the True Team Section Meet at Elk River, well first, the weather actually looks like it is going to be nice!!  So, I am hoping the girls will be excited and ready to see what they can do.  It is the normal schedule of events starting at 3:45.  There was no time schedule, so the events may run fast or slow, depending on if there are any issues.  The girls will go first in each event on the track.

There will be a spectator fee: $6.00 adults and $4.00 for students. Spectators should enter between the tennis courts.

The other thing that is different for this meet compared to the others, is the fact that every athlete that finishes there event or is not disqualified, will receive points.  The team that has the most points at the end of the meet will qualify for the True Team State Meet in two weeks.  Here is the scoring system:

Individual Events 27-26-25-24-23-22-21-20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Relay Events 36-32-28-24-20-16-12-8-4

This is based on 9 teams, and three athletes per team, per event, and one relay team.  If an athlete is disqualified in their running event or scratches/no heights in their field events, they and their team get 0 points, and every one behind them moves up.  This also applies in the relay's.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks
Denny

Saturday

Below is the time schedule for Saturday's Mega Meet at Sauk Rapids.  The meet is actually at the Middle School,
Sauk Rapids/ Rice Middle School 901 S 1st St

and there will be an admission price as well, $6 Adults $4 Students.  Sounds like the weather may have a little bit of coldness and wetness to it, so please be prepared.  Being that this is a bigger meet, it would have to be some nasty weather for the meet to be cancelled.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Blaine Results

http://67.23.19.61/system/files/9123/original/Blaine.pdf?1367369483

Above are the results from last nights Blaine Invite.  When I am able to, I will either put the web address to the results or let you know where they can be found.  This will only be for the bigger meets that use a timing service.

As for how things went last night, it was a positive step from last weeks meets, but we still have a lot of things to work on and we as a group of coaches are working hard to give the girls the best opportunities to reach their goals.  With the goofy weather we have had this year, we will have to make some changes just to get the girls going without having the number of races that we are used to that are used as development.

Tomorrow is still being planned despite the weather predictions.  If something changes I will let you know as soon as I can.  The one difference in start time.  On our schedule it was to start at 3:00, but Andover has changed the time.  So, field events will start at 3:30 and running events at 4:00, with the normal schedule of events.

The girls will also know today or tomorrow if they will be competing in Saturday's Mega Meet at Sauk Rapids.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny
