Saturday - St Francis Invite, Varsity, Meet starts at 10:00, bus leaves at 8:30am

Thursday's Meet Rescheduled

Just been notified that Thursday's Shakopee Invite has been rescheduled to Monday, April 22.  We will be attending this meet, despite the fact that we also have a meet on Tuesday. 

Also, and we are still finalizing this, there is a good chance that we will be going to Centennial on Friday for a JV Meet.  Knowing that we are losing so many meets, we want to try and get something in for all the athletes.  I will notify everyone once this is final.

Lastly, as of right now, our meet on Saturday, the St Francis Invite, is still a go.  Since Thursday is changed and Friday is possibly for JV, this will be a Varsity Meet.  We will come up with a list of who will be competing and get it posted for the athletes as soon as we can.

If you have any questions, please let me know,

Thanks

Friday's Meet is Cancelled

Well, as you can see with the lovely amount of snow that we have gotten, our meet on Friday has been cancelled.  They are wanting to reschedule it to the 18th of April, but we are already committed to the Shakopee Invite, in which we will also be able to have more athletes compete.
We will have practice today, so long as the school doesn't cancel all after school activities.
And so goes the Spring of 2013!! Hopefully we will be out and competing in meets soon!!
Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks

Friday Meet Cancelled

First off, the meet on Friday, the Cambridge Invite, has been cancelled due to snow/water cover at the Cambridge Track.  The meet has been rescheduled to Friday, May 10 (yep, the fishing opener weekend), but we have declined to go, and not because of the fishing, but because we are looking for a good practice day at that time.

Second, there will not be any overall results for last nights meet, but the Centennial coach did keep score throughout the meet yesterday and the Coon Rapids Girls came in 1st!!  Despite the change in some events, the harsher breathing conditions from being inside, and the bit of chaos from having that many people in such a smaller area, it was a very positive start.  It was good for the girls to have the competition type setting and to be going against two other schools.  There was a bit of a different energy compared to the practices, so even though it was more of Time Trial/Scrimmage, it was a good time.  We found somethings that we can build off of and a few areas that we need to work on, especially now that we can start being outside, so we will continue to move forward and see what we can do.

Lastly, as of right now our meet next Tuesday at Centennial is still being planned.  The Centennial coach mentioned that the Track is clear, as are most of the areas, but they are hoping for things to dry out a little more.  Look for us to be going there next week and facing the same two teams.  This will be day that we will figure out who will be competing at next Friday's Irondale Twilight, which will be a meet in which we are limited on the number of athletes that can be in each event.

Any questions, please let me know
