If you are planning to go down to watch, know that parking is even more limited and that there is a fee to enter, $10 for adults, $7 for students, and there will be many more spectators, so give yourself a lot of time, both for parking and then entering the stadium area.
If there are any questions, let me know.

Section Results

Congratulations to Kalley Harris and Brielle Clarke as they both qualified for next weeks State Meet! Kalley has qualified for the 4th year in a row as she got 2nd place in the 100 Hurdles and winning the 300IM Hurdles, breaking her own school record in the process! Brielle ran an all time best to grab 2nd in the 100m Dash, qualifying for her first State Meet! Races will be on Friday with Prelims, followed by Finals on Saturday the 11th.

Congrats to all of the girls that competed today, in probably the hottest temps we have had to deal with this year. Three of the four relay teams set Seasonal Bests, and the Pole Vault proved to be our deepest event this season with all 3 girls finishing in the top 7 overall. Kalaina Verdick finished 7th, Mog O'Grady was 4th, and Camika Hurdle coming in 3rd, missing State by one place. I very positive way to end the team portion of our season.

Overall meet results can be found by clicking on Wayzat Results at the top of the blog page and going into the Results section looking for Section 5AA.  I will get our individual results up later this weekend.

For those that have not turned in their uniforms or have just completed their seasons, please bring your uniforms to me on Monday. I'll wait by the equipment room after school.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks,
Denny

Monday Practice/Friday Schedule Change

Just a reminder for the sprinters and distance runners that are competing this week, practice today, Monday, is going to be at 6:00pm at the track. Make sure you bring your spikes.

Second, found out that the start time for Friday's section finals had been moved up to 11:30am. Not sure why there was a move, but this is different than what was on our schedule, what we have done the past few years, and I was not aware of this change until they sent us all of the information last week.

One last thing, uniform turn in will be this coming Thursday after school for all athletes that are done for the season. Make sure your uniform is clean. For those that will still be competing, I will collect your uniform after you are done.  We will also do our team voting and a season survey after as well.

If there are any questions, please let me know,

Thanks,

Denny

Conference Results

Congratulations to all of the Girls that competed this week at the Northwest Suburban Conference Meet, as the Girls put together their best overall meet on the season and finished in a solid 5th out of 14 teams, only 20 points out of 1st, and hanging in for the conference title until the last event, and despite having our best race in the 4x400 on the year, it wasn't enough to gain.

Huge Congrats to Brielle Clarke, Kalley Harris, and Kalaina Verdick as they all were able to take Conference titles as well as earn All-Conference Honors.  All three had solid all-around weeks with Kalaina winning the Pole Vault, taking 4th in the 200m dash, 5th in the Long Jump and 9th in the Triple Jump, as Kalley Harris won the 300IM Hurdles and 3rd in the 100H Hurdles.  Brielle was a double winner, first winning the 100m dash and following it up with a win in the 200m dash, as well as finishing 3rd in the High Jump, and was named the Outstanding Track Athlete of the Meet.

All of our individual results are now posted on the right side of the blog and you are able to find the meet results above by clicking on Raceberryjam.com, and then looking in the Outdoor Track section and Results.

Next up will be the Section 5AA Meet next Wednesday and Friday at Hamline University.  The Girls will find out what they will be competing in tomorrow.

Also, the Distance and Sprinters will be practicing on Monday, Memorial Day, at 6:00pm to allow for everyone to enjoy the day.

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

Conference Prelim Results

Here is a link to the Results for yesterday's Prelims of the NWSC Conference Meet.  Some very big positives for many of the Girls and we were able to get some points that we were not "supposed" to get based off of seedings.  We also were able to get the Girls that were expected to be in the finals moving forward, thus giving us a chance to get some good points tomorrow at the Finals.  Are we expected or feeling we will get enough points to win, probably not, but we will do what we can, if the Girls continue to move forward like they did yesterday, anything is possible. So, we stay positive and see what we can do.
Below is the schedule for tomorrow, with the remaining Field Events starting at 2:30.  Also please remember that there is a fee to enter, $7 for adults, $5 for students.
Any questions, let me know,
Thanks
Denny
