Next Up, Another Change!

So I was thinking, what would I post on this blog if it wasn't for all of the changes and cancelations that keep happening? haha, whew!

So, the next change has occurred already.  Tomorrow's meet with Champlin Park has been moved to Thursday of this week, April 25th due to the fact of snow, again.  Yes this is the same day as the Centennial 9/10 Meet, but we are going to go to both.  All 9th/10th graders will go to Centennial unless they are Varsity or if they have a sibling that is a 11th/12th grader (we want to keep the families together).  Those that will not be going to Centennial, will then be going to Champlin Park.  We will divide up all of our coaches the best that we can, and will work with the boys coaches on this as well.  Both meets will run a normal schedule of events, starting at 3:45, with Champlin probably going a little quicker due to the fact that there will only be one other team besides ourselves, where Centennial is to have 8 total teams.

We as coaches will sit down and go over who will be going where and let the athletes know as soon as we can.

If there are any questions about this, please let me know.  Oh, and it says in the Star Tribune today that we might hit 70 on Sunday! Um, I will believe it, when it happens!

Thanks
Denny

Meets Cancelled

"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"  It really should be "Where's the Sunshine!", and the warmth! I know that this is becoming the season of frustration for many people, not to mention the teams and coaches, and all of you as fans, families, and supporters of our program as well as others. But, we are trying to preach patience and to become more resilient to the things we cannot control.

So, with that, sad to say that the meets on Friday and Saturday have been cancelled due to the weather.  Friday's meet will not be rescheduled, but Saturday's is being rescheduled for May 18.  We have not decided if we are going to keep that on our schedule yet.  The coaches and I are going to talk about it today and make a decision that will be best for the whole program.

Also, as of right now, Monday's and Tuesday's meets are still being planned as if they are going to happen.  As soon as I hear anything I will let you all know.

Thanks again for all of your support and think warm, sunny, happy thoughts!! :) 

Any questions, please let me know

Up Coming Meets

Friday - Centennial JV, Meet starts at 3:45 (This was just added and confirmed.  If the weather has an affect on it, I will let you know as soon as something is mentioned)

Saturday - St Francis Invite, Varsity, Meet starts at 10:00, bus leaves at 8:30am

Monday - Shakopee Invite, Mostly Varsity, with some JV.  This will also have a different schedule, so I will be posting that on Monday, Meet starts at 3:30

Tuesday - Champlin Dual, JV with some Varsity, Meet starts at 3:45

Thursday, April 25 - Centennial 9/10, JV runners will be in this, even if they are not in 9th or 10th grade, Meet starts at 3:45

If there are any questions about any of the above, please let me know

Thanks
Denny

Thursday's Meet Rescheduled

Just been notified that Thursday's Shakopee Invite has been rescheduled to Monday, April 22.  We will be attending this meet, despite the fact that we also have a meet on Tuesday. 

Also, and we are still finalizing this, there is a good chance that we will be going to Centennial on Friday for a JV Meet.  Knowing that we are losing so many meets, we want to try and get something in for all the athletes.  I will notify everyone once this is final.

Lastly, as of right now, our meet on Saturday, the St Francis Invite, is still a go.  Since Thursday is changed and Friday is possibly for JV, this will be a Varsity Meet.  We will come up with a list of who will be competing and get it posted for the athletes as soon as we can.

If you have any questions, please let me know,

Thanks
Denny

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
Denny Green

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
