Kennedy 5th at State!

Congratulations to Kennedy Martinson as she earned All State Honors today at the Minnesota State Meet, finishing in 5th place in a very tight race. 3rd through 7th places were .05 seconds apart, with 1st and 2nd place being just a couple of tenths of a second ahead of this group.  It’s a great way to end the season and something that we can definitely build off of going into next year!! Great Job Kennedy and congrats to her event coach Patti as well for helping get her to this point!!

Section Results

Congratulations to Kennedy Martinson as she won the 100 High Hurdles at yesterday's Section 5AA meet, qualifying for next Saturday's State Meet by running a school record time of 14.59!!  

Kennedy will be our only representative at the State Meet, but it was an overall positive day with many personal bests and placings above where we were seeded going into the meet.  Kennedy also was a podium finisher in the 300 Hurdles finishing in 3rd, just missing qualifying in this event as well.  Grace Kehr moved up to take 4th in Pole Vault in an all-time PR of 10'6".  Mikayla de Souza moved up in the 100m dash to finish as the 5th fastest girl in the Section, as well as finish in a season PR in the 200m dash to finish in 8th.  Alsita Suah improved by over a foot in the Triple Jump to move into 9th place overall, as the 4x800m relay team of Ava Kehr, Zoe Hoaglund, Stella Bone, and Ilsa Hoaglund fought hard to finish in 8th and the 4x200m team of Rory Ruotsinoja, Alsita Suah, Belinda Griffith, and Mikayla de Souza ran a season best time to finish in 9th overall.  All results can be found at Wayzataresults.com.

Great work to all of the Girls as they all fought hard to finish off the season on a positive note!!

To help end the season, we will be collecting uniforms tomorrow, Monday, June 14th at 10:00am at the Pole Vault area.  We will also collect any exercise bands that are still out, as well as hand out Letter and Participation awards, as well as the All-Conference and Honorable Mention Awards.  If someone is not able to be there tomorrow to hand in their uniforms, please bring them to the main office when you have the opportunity.

Thanks to everyone for all of their work and support this year.  It has been a different season, and things could have been different in many different ways, but we did what we could with the opportunities and athletes we got to work with and there were so many positives that are going to help us build for the seasons to come!  It was fun, but hopefully it will be more fun in the upcoming years!!

Thanks,
Denny

Section Meet Schedule, Day 1 (Wednesday)

Below is the schedule for Day 1 of the Section 5AA Meet on Wednesday.  This meet is at Mounds View High School this year (directions below), and will be on 2 days, Wednesday is primarily the prelims day and finals are on Saturday.  However, some events will be finals on Wednesday, the 3200m run, and 3 field events for the girls and 3 for the boys.  Also, the 1600m run will not be held until Saturday. The 3 field events for the Girls on Wednesday are Long Jump, High Jump, and Discus.

Bus and start times have changed from what was originally posted, partially due to the heat that is supposed to be on both days.  For Wednesday, the bus will be leaving at 9:30 and the first events will be at 11:00.  Saturday the bus will leave at 8:00am and the first events are at 10:00am.

In the past, there has been an entry fee to get into the Section 5AA Meet, but we have not seen anything yet if there is going to be.  I would guess that spectators will need to pay.  Once I hear I will let everyone know.  There will be t-shirt sales though.

Lastly, for practices this week, we will continue to have all the field event and distance practices starting at their usual times and locations, with the sprints and hurdles being at Anoka at 5:00 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, bus leaving at 4:50.  As for Friday, since school is completed, I am waiting to hear when Anoka will be practicing before determining when we will going there.

Thanks,
Denny

District 11 Relay Results

Our Individual results from today's District 11 Relay Meet at Anoka are now posted on the right side of the blog.  Once we get the Overall results I will post those as well.

But, on a hot afternoon/evening, the girls were able to get some last minute prep work done in a very low key, more fun meet.  There were some improvements and some positives, and we will be prepared for next week now that we have had a hot weather meet under our belts.  There were some that were affected by the heat, so please make sure all that competed today, no matter how short or long, get plenty of water in them!

Thanks for all of those that came out today.  We will be posting the Section line up within the next couple of days.
