Hamline Elite Meet

Tonight is the Hamline Elite Meet.  This is a meet that is not for everyone on our team.  We have to submit times, heights, and distances, as do others schools interested, and then the top so many are selected to compete. 

This year we have two individuals competing, Brielle Clarke in the 100m Dash and Kalley Harris in the 100m Hurdles and the 300m Hurdles.  Brielle will have prelims at 5:35, and then if she qualifies for finals will run at 6:35. Kalley will run at 6:25 for the 100m Hurdles and 7:50 for the 300m Hurdles, where she will be one of the favorites to win.  If you are wanting to see how they are doing, but not wanting to drive down, you can see their live times at Wayzataresults.com

I am still working on putting up results from last nights 9/10 Meet at Centennial.  I am waiting on results from a few field events before I put them up.  I am also waiting to get the final overall meet results, so I am not sure where we finished as a team.

But, the weather was cold, one of the coldest that we have had, but the athletes worked hard and did the best that they could for the conditions.  It has been a rough couple of last weeks for meets and practices (minus last Saturday) for many of the girls, so we are hoping for the some better weather soon to get their spirits high and to see what they can do when they are not worried about the wind, the rain, the cold, or all three at once!

Last thing, we are taking the team picture today after school at the track and then we are still practicing.  Looks like the weather will be much nicer and the sun should be out for the picture.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny
