Season Photos

Below is information that was sent to me from an individual that took pictures throughout the season.  Please contact her if there are any questions.

Thanks,
Denny

Here is the link to the 2022 Track and Field photos that I was able to capture. You may share this with your respective teams (Boys and Girls). I have posted low-resolution photos for anyone to download at no cost. However, if anyone wishes to purchase a full resolution file or a print, I need to first collect a photo release (a link is posted on my site to collect this). This is different than last year due to a conversation I had with the activities director Curt during the basketball season.  

To help protect the student athletes, I have made these galleries "Private". This means that while there isn't a password required to access or download the photos, a direct link or URLis required to access them. The photos will not show up in a search on my site or through Google. As coaches, you may use any of these photos for advertising the team, recognition or anything else you would like. The resolution is established to work well for online media. If you need a full resolution file for anything, just let me know.

In case you need the full url:

Have a great summer and thanks for letting me capture some of the fun!

Parents are allowed to come, but remember this is a very laid back affair. Thanks, Denny

State Finals

Congratulations to both Kennedy Martinson and Grace Kehr as they finished their seasons off both as All State Athletes in their events at today's State Meet!!  Kennedy finished the State Meet as one of the top point getters finishing in 2nd place in Pole Vault (the highest a Coon Rapids Girl has ever finished in Pole Vault), and 3rd in both the 100 Hurdles (resetting her own School Record) and the 300 Hurdles in an All time PR, getting All State in all 3 events.  Grace finished her High School career with a new All Time Best height, finishing in 7th (2nd highest placing in CR History in PV) to earn her All State honor!  The two of them also helped the team finish in a very respectable 11th place overall at State as a team out of the 46 schools that scored points, the highest finish for Coon Rapids since 2002!

Congrats and a huge Thank You to Coaches Patti and Jason for all of their hard work and dedication to the Girls that have come through our program and as they helped these two reach the heights they have at the State level!! It is always fun to see the Girls have success and they cannot always do so without coaches that have dedicated themselves to their events like these two have!!

Thanks to all for all of the support!
Denny

State Prelims

Kennedy got off to a good start today in Prelims at the State Meet.  She qualified for the finals in both the 100 hurdles (3rd fastest time) and the 300 hurdles (fastest time in Prelims).  She will compete in the finals for both of those events, as well as Pole Vault with Grace Kehr on Saturday afternoon/evening.

You can see all of the Prelim results as well as follow along with the meet on Saturday at https://results.wayzatatiming.com/meets/17032 

Great Work Kennedy!
Denny

Varsity Uniform Turn In

For all of those that were competing last week at Sections, we are going to have uniform turn in after school on Wednesday, June 8. You will also need to turn your lock in at that time as well, so lockers will need to be cleaned out.

Any questions, please let me know,

Thanks

Denny

Section Results

On a night that we had the best weather that we have had all season, the Girls put together their best overall meet on the season!  Times were fast, distances and heights were further, and the energy was positive!

Congratulations to both Grace Kehr and Kennedy Martinson as they have advanced onto the State Meet next Thursday and Saturday at St. Michael/Albertville High School.  Grace finished in 3rd place in Pole Vault, but earned her way to State by Vaulting over the State Qualifying Standard of 11 ft, 1 inch.  Kennedy won the 100 Hurdles, the 300 Hurdles and the Pole Vault to score the most points of any athlete, female or male, at the meet, and set a new school record in the 100 Hurdles in Prelims on Wednesday and set a new school record in Pole Vault tonight, becoming the first Cardinal female to go over 12 feet!

Other top finishers were Mikayla de Souza who finished 3rd in both the 100 and 200 in all time best times, just missing Qualifying in both.  She also anchored the 4x100 team with Molly Knoblauch, Rory Ruotsinoja and Bailey Rauh, to a 4th place finish, dropping nearly 2 seconds in time.  Rory also moved up 4 places and added over a foot in Triple Jump to earn 8th place and Molly ran an all time best in the 100 to finish in 9th.  The 4x800 relay team of Ava Kehr, Megan Fuller, Ruby Demmer and Tessa Del Fratte also finished in 6th place to earn a medal.

Here is a link to the overall results: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/meet/474061/results

Thanks to all of those that not only came out tonight to support the Girls, but all who have throughout the whole season!!  It was a fun season and one that we will hope to build off!

Thanks,
Denny

Week of May 30th/Sections

We are down to the 2nd to last week of the season with this being Section Week.  On Monday evening, the Sprinters and Distance runners will be meeting for practice at 6:00pm to allow those out of town time to make it back as well as those getting together with family.  Tuesday and Thursday will be regular practice times.

Below is a link to the Order of Events for the Section 7AAA Meet on Wednesday and Friday at Forest Lake.  Please note the start times are different for each day.  Wednesday we are scheduled to start at 10:30am for Field and Track events, with the bus leaving at 8:45.  On Friday, both Field and Track events start at 5:00pm, with the bus leaving at 2:30 in case traffic is heavy.  Also note that the last event will not be until after 9:00pm, so we will not be getting back to school until closer to 10:00.  If you are needing to bring your athlete home after they are done with their events, please let me know. I will post the final line up on Monday evening after a few decisions are finalized, but below is also a list of those that will be competing.

Conference Finals

Congratulations to Kennedy M, Grace K, and Mikayla D as they each earned All Conference honors today, with Kennedy earning 3 with wins in the 100 Hurdles and the 300 IM Hurdles and a 3rd place finish in Pole Vault; Grace earning 1 with a 2nd place finish in Pole Vault; and Mikayla taking 4th in the 100m Dash.  Mikayla also earned an All-Conference Honorable Mention with a 5th place finish in the 200m Dash.  These girls helped the team to a 9th place finish out of the 14 team Conference, a 1/2 point out of 8th place.  

As an overall, all of the Girls performed well, with many season bests in events and by individuals.  We know we could have done better in a few areas, but it was still a very positive week and one that we can build on for next week as well as for next year.  All of our individual results, as well as a link to the overall results, are now posted on the blog.

Next up is the Section 7AAA Meet at Forest Lake on June 1st and 3rd.  Please note that the times for these two days are at different times. Wednesday the 1st the first events will be at 10:30am, and for Friday the 3rd the first events will be at 5:00pm.  We were just notified of these times this week, but I will get all of the information out at the beginning of next week.

As for next Monday, athletes will need to talk with their event coaches as to when they will be practicing.

Thanks to all who came out to support and cheer on the Girls this week!!

Conference Prelim Results - Thursday Schedule

You can find results to Tuesdays Conference Prelims here: Prelim Results.  Just scroll through the events on the top.  You are also able to see the heat sheets for Thursdays Finals.

As for Thursdays Finals, the schedule for the meet is posted below.  The 3 field events that were not contested for the Girls on Tuesday will be held as well as the 4 relays and the 1600.  The 3200 has been completed.  Moving onto the finals from Tuesdays Prelims are Mikayla de Souza in the 100 and the 200, and Kennedy Martinson in the 100 Hurdles and 300 IM Hurdles.  It was a good weather day, times were not affected and the Girls were able to just go out and compete.  Thursdays weather is looking very similar and it should be a good day to see what the Girls can do.

Parents, please remember if you are taking your athlete home that you need to let me know.  There were many Girls that left early on Tuesday and I was not aware and it makes it more challenging and time consuming when trying to leave and making sure we are not leaving anyone behind.  Event coaches are not on the bus, so you need to be letting me know.

Thanks and any questions, please let me know,
Denny
