Follow by Email

A new feature for the blog this year is the ability to be notified by email whenever something is posted.  All you need to do is look on the right side of the blog, above the Health and Nutrition pages, and enter your email.  I will not be notified or receive any of the email addresses when you enter, nor will be publicized anywhere.  One thing of note though, is that sometimes it does take a little bit of time to notify you of a new post, so still check the blog page from time to time to make sure you are staying up to date.
If there are any questions, please let me know.
Thanks

State Finals

Two school records and a near third one later, the 2017 season comes to end on a very positive note! Kalley Harris was able to take down another school record, this time putting her name on the 100 Hurdles with a time of 14.76, finishing in the 6th place, and taking down a record that had stood since 1996. She then came back and hour and a half later and took off more time on her own record in the 300 IM Hurdles and finishing in a close 2nd place! Brielle Clarke was able to finish in 7th place in the 100m Dash in an all time PR for herself and missed tying the school record by .02, a record that has stood since 1985.  Both Girls were able to earn All-State Honors, the 4th and 5th in Kalley's high school career and the first for Brielle! Also, with their efforts, they helped the team to finish 22nd as a team out of 67 scoring schools! Great work Ladies and congratulations on finishing the season with your bests!

State Prelims

There are three races left on the season, as Kalley and Brielle were able to make it to the State Finals tomorrow, Saturday, morning. Kalley leaned just enough at the line to grab the 9th spot in the 100 Hurdles, getting in by .01, then came back strong in the 300 Hurdles with the second fastest time of the day. Brielle, meanwhile, moved up to second in her heat and finished with the number 5 spot in the 100m dash. Race times tomorrow are at 9:50 for the 100 Hurdles, 10:10 for the 100m dash, and 11:30 for the 300 Hurldes. Live results can once again be found on Wayzata Results.
