This is a message for all who are involved in a Fall Sport. Tomorrow, Wednesday, at 7:00pm is the All Sports Meeting, with individual sports meetings to follow.  The meeting at 7:00pm will be in the auditorium. If you have any questions, please let me know,

Thank You

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful season.  It was not a perfect season, but one in which there was success and hopefully much was learned!  We wish all of the Seniors all the best as they move on in life and hope that they are able to continue to grow.

One final announcement, anyone that is interested in working on their speed, Coach Sullivan, the boys coach, will be meeting at the track every Tuesday night from 6-7pm.  It would be an opportunity for anyone still wanting to work and develop and is looking to move up next year.  The cost would be $5 a night and I am sure he will have beverages for everyone each night as well.

To go along with this, Coach Coauette, our Throws coach, will be at the track on the same nights, same time, so if any thrower, or anyone you may know that would be interested in throwing, would like to do some work, he will be there as well.

Thanks again and if there is anything anyone has any questions about, please let me know,
Denny Green

4x400 6th at State

Congratulations to Amber Harris, Brianna Clarke, Rozlynn Lund, and Kalley Kalley Harris as they finished the season with a 6th place finish in the 4x400m Relay at the State Track Field Meet on Saturday. The girls finished with the second fastest time in school history, just missing their record setting time from the prelims on Friday by less than a second!  It was a fun race to watch and the girls never gave up! Great work girls!

State Finals

The 4x400 team set a school record again today in the Prelims of the State Meet and qualified for the finals tomorrow. Meet starts at 9:00, the girls 4x400 will be run at 12:40.  

State Meet Friday

Below is the time schedule for Friday's State Meet.  There is an admission to go, plus parking is going to be a lot more difficult.  If you are planning on going, plan on arriving well in advance and know that you may have to park at the State Fair Grounds and take a bus over. 
Admission is:$10 for adults, $7 for students.
Here is what the State has sent us in regards to parking:
Parking is available at no cost a the MN State Fairgrounds. Take the free shuttle to Hamline University, a five-minute ride. The shuttle will drip off and pick up on Hewitt Avenue near the State Meet Ticket Booth and will run every 10 minutes.
FROM HAMLINE UNIVERSITY: following Snelling Avenue north over the bridge. Exit on Como Avenue and turn left. Enter through Gate 19 on your left. Parking is in Block 55. The shuttle will pick up and drop off at the entrance of this lot. The shuttle will run from 7:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Lastly, both the 300m IM Hurdles and the 4x400m Relay will be run on Friday as a Prelim.  The girls will need to qualify in order to compete in the Finals on Saturday.  For the 300's, there will be 3 heats and the girls will need to be either in the top 2 in their heat, or one of the next fastest 3 remaining individuals to move on.  In the 4x400m Relay, there will be 2 heats, and the girls will need to place in the top 2 in their heat or be one of the 5 fastest remaining teams.  9 in each event will move on to the finals.

4th at Conference

The Girls finished in a solid 4^th place in the Northwest Suburban Conference Meet.  The Cardinals were led by the 4x800m relay team of Elise Weimholt, Susan Porter, Rozlynn Lund, and Bryna DelCastillo, who were Conference Champs and ran the 2nd fastest time in school history, and Amber Harris, who edged out her sister Kalley Harris, for a family 1-2 in the 300m Hurdles, all also received All Conference Honors.  Other All Conference winners were Bryna DelCastillo in the 3200m run (4th), Amber Harris in the 100m Hurdles (2nd), Brianna Clarke in the High Jump (4th), Sam Lefaive in the Pole Vault (4th) and the 4x400m relay team of Brianna Clarke, Michelle Onyekaba, Rozlynn Lund and Bryna DelCastillo (3rd), who missed the school record by just over a second.  Honorable Mentions went to Allie Stalboerger: 200m (6th) , Kalley Harris: 100m Hurdles (6th), Rachel Anderson: Discus (6th), McKenzie Haas: Pole Vault 95th), and Nicole Stalboerger, Mari Blesi, Brianka Agboola, and Allie Stalboerger 5th in the 4x100m Relay.  Overall meet results are posted now on Raceberry Jam.  Look under Northwest Suburban Conference in the results of Outdoor Track.

It was a great all around effort and congrats to all of the girls that competed.  Once again there were many season and personal bests from everyone, and that is what made the week a big positive.  We might have missed our goal of winning, but the girls put forth an effort that made the other teams have to show up in order to beat us.

Thanks for the parents that were there to help and those who came to support.  It was also great to finally have some really nice weather to enjoy what the girls were able to do!
Thanks

Denny
