Conference Results

Results from today's Northwest Suburban Conference Meet are posted below.  I will work on putting together our Individual results over the weekend.

The Girls had a solid day though. In a pretty close battle in the middle of the pack, the Girl's finished in 10th place out of the 14 teams, but were not that far out of the top 5.  The Girls were able to place higher in many events than where they were seeded, thus helping us gain more points than what was probably expected.

Congratulations to Kennedy M for winning the 100 High Hurdles today while finishing in 3rd in the 300 Intermediate Hurdles while earning All Conference Honors in both events. Kennedy also was an Honorable Mention winner in Pole Vault, finishing in 5th.

Other Honorable Mention winners today went to:
Grace K in Pole Vault and the Triple Jump

Mikayla D in the 100m Dash

The 4x100 relay team of Rennell C, Rory R, Lucy N, and Mikayla D

The 4x400 relay team of Rory R, Kennedy M, Ava K, and Mikayla D

and the 4x800 relay team of Ava K, Zoe H, Stella B, and Ilsa H

Conference Meet Delayed to Friday

Due to the predicted continuous rain for Thursday, a decision was made this morning to move the meet to Friday, and then to make it one combined meet with 14 teams vs 2 sessions of 7. Below is the updated schedule, and we will have the bus leave at 8:30. The hope is to have it done sooner in the afternoon so people leaving out of town for the weekend are still able to and hopefully not miss any of their events.

Thanks

Denny

Friday Time Schedule

 

10:00 Field Events (We will need to decide if discus and shot put run at the same time or if discus starts following the shot put. We also will likely need help at the triple jump)

 

10:45 – 4x800 relay – one heat

11:05 – 100 High Hurdles – five heats

11:25 – 100 meters – six heats

11:50 – 4x200 relay – two heats

12:05 – 1600 meters – three heats

12:35 – 4x100 relay – two heats

12:50 – 400 meters – five heats

1:15 – 300 Low Hurdles – five heats

1:35 – 800 meters – three heats

2:00 – 200 meters – six heats

2:20 – 3200 meters – two heats

3:00 – 4x400 relay – two heats

Week Ahead

A couple of items as we look ahead to this week upcoming week.  

First, due to the Varsity field getting artificial turf starting on Monday, the field and track are no longer available for us to use for practice.  However, the only ones this will affect are the sprinters and hurdlers, everyone else will still be able to practice at their regular times as well as locations.  With the sprinters and hurdlers we will be practicing at Anoka High School but not until 5:00.  There will be a bus to pick up and drop off, leaving CRHS at 4:50.  Athletes are allowed to drive to and from or be dropped off at Anoka if it is easier.  I would not expect practices to last much more than an hour.  As mentioned, everyone else will still practice regularly.

Second, below is the schedule for Thursday's NWSC Meet at Maple Grove.  This is a limited Varsity meet with those competing and in what at the bottom of this post as well.  The bus will leave at 2:30. What will be different this year is that the meet is only on one day and half of the Conference will go in the morning and the other half in the afternoon, we are in the afternoon.  Once both sessions are completed, all stats will be combined and then we will see where we finished as a team and if we have any All-Conference or Honorable Mention winners.

If you have any questions, please let me know,
Thanks

Denny

True Team Results

Our Individual Results from tonight's True Team meet at Anoka are now posted on the right side of the blog.  How the Overall results will work is that this year the True Team Meet will be virtual, so we will enter all of our Heights, Distances, and Times into a web page and then once everyone in our Section have entered theirs, all of the results will be compiled and points will be given to determine the top team, as well as top individuals.  With True Team scoring, everyone that is entered into an event, that has finished and did not scratch in a field event, will be given a point, with 1st place getting 27 points and 27th place getting 1 point (9 teams x 3 individuals per team = 27 points).  Once we get those results I will post them as well, and let everyone know who are top performers of the meet were!

As for how things went tonight, much improvement by those that competed and some were needing to do events that they have not done in the past.  We are dealing with a bit of the injury bug, so some decisions were needed to be made last second.  Thanks to those that did step and helped us be able to complete some events!!  

Next up is a JV meet at Spring Lake Park on Thursday, where even some that competed today will get a few more races in.

Thanks for the parents that were there and supporting everyone!!
Denny

Week Ahead

Here are a couple of things for the week ahead:

Both Tuesday's Varsity at Anoka (3:00 start time, 2:00 bus time) and Thursday's JV meet at Spring Lake Park (3:45 start time, 2:45 bus time) will be full schedule meets.  Please look at the Normal Order of Events link on the right side of the blog.  We were not given a time schedule for either though, so it is hard to say what time everything will be.  Also, some of those that will compete on Tuesday will also compete on Thursday.  We are at a point in the season where we want to get everyone as many events as we can, so some JV will be bumped up Tuesday and some Varsity will do double duty with the JV meet on Thursday.

Team Pictures are going to be on Wednesday May 19th, for those that are interested in the team pictures, please text the code PGNT88967 to 90738 and then David Banks Studios will notify you when the pictures are available to be viewed and ordered.

As for the JV athletes, even though this week is the last "JV Meet," we are still going to have plenty of opportunities for them to compete.  We will need to have some JV for both of the Conference and Section meets, but then also we will have the District 11 relay meet, which should be a fun meet with different events.  We will be communicating this with our athletes as well.

Lastly, below are those competing and the events that they will be in for Tuesday's Varsity True Team meet as of right now.  We are still waiting to hear on a few and then piece them into their events.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks,
Denny

Season Updates

Our individual results from the Dual today at Champlin Park are now posted on the right side of the blog.  There will not be any overall results for this meet.  But, there were definite improvements today, many seasonal PR's (Personal Records) and even a few all-time PR's, but there are still areas that we are trying to put together, so it was far from a perfect race for us.

There are a couple of updates for the rest of the season.  First, Team Pictures are going to be on Wednesday next week, May 19th, for those that are interested in the team pictures, please text the code PGNT88967 to 90738 and then David Banks Studios will notify you when the pictures are available to be viewed and ordered.

Next, for next Thursday's JV meet at Spring Lake Park, the start time has changed.  It will now start at 3:45.  Not sure of the event times yet, but once we get those I will post them.

For the NWSC Meet on May 27, we have been slotted into the 4:00pm start time.  Once we get closer I will put all of the information out for that meet.

Lastly, we have added a meet for the end of the season, June 3rd that will be at Anoka.  This will be a District 11 Relay Meet that will be more for fun and to fill a hole in our schedule.  We are still putting this all together, but we will try to get as many of our athletes into the meet as possible.

Thanks and please look for more updates,
Denny
