Week Ahead

This is just a quick update on a few things.

I have now included the meet schedule on our blog page.  That can now be found on the right hand side above the results.

We have two meets this week.  Tuesday's is for everyone and will be the normal schedule of events, except that there will not be a 4x800m relay.  So the first event will be the 100H Hurdles.  Thursday's meet is for Varsity, but we will be taking a lot of JV.  There is a JV race for the mile, so all distance runners are going.  The throwers will have a JV shot and disc, so all the throwers will be going.  And there is a JV 4x400m relays, so any of the sprinters that would like to run a 400 will be able to go.  The schedule will be a lot different, so I will send that out later this week.

We will be having practice this upcoming Friday and next Monday, even though there is not school.  Friday will be in the morning, and chances are Monday's will be in the afternoon.  These are regular practices, so the athletes need to be at them.  It is possible that the throwers and pole vaulters will be at different times, depending on their coaches schedule.

Lastly, on Saturday, April 19, the Boys and Girls Track teams will be helping run a basketball tourney at the high school.  We will be needing volunteers, both athletes and parents and we have broken it up into 3 different times: 8am-12pm, 12pm-4pm, 4pm to close.  If you are able to help with this, please let me know.  Any questions, also please let me know.


Thanks,

Denny Green

Irondale Twilight

Below is a link to the overall meet results for Friday's Irondale Twilight.  If you are not able to get through with the link, these results are posted in Wayzata Results.
I have also put our team/individual results under our Results.
It is always hard to say how we did as an overall team with this meet because the results are added together with the Boys team, but considering the number of girls that we brought that had not really done any Varsity meets prior to Friday, the girls performed well and there were a lot of positive signs that we look forward to seeing if they can progress.

Next up is a Triangular at Elk River on Tuesday.  This will be a meet in which everyone can compete and there are no limits to the number of individuals or relay teams we have in each event.
If there are any questions on anything, please let me know,
Thanks

Blaine 9/10

Our team results for last nights Blaine 9/10 are now posted.  Once again, there were no overall meet results, so not sure where everyone would have finished in each event, or how we finished as a team.  We are OK with this though, because we are able to get some work in with the younger girls and not have to worry about them stressing as much.
But, based on what I saw, and the times, heights, and distances that we produced, I felt it was a positive day, and a good step forward for many on the team.  The wind was a bit strong for the last 100m, so times were effected a little bit, but those that were able to run personal bests with that wind, showed themselves that they are really improving!
Next up is the Irondale Twilight (check the post for Irondale for the schedule and time).  This will be a Varsity only meet.  Next meet for the whole team is on Tuesday at Elk River.
Any questions, please let me know,

Irondale Twilight

Below is the schedule for Friday's Irondale Twilight.  The schedule is a bit different then the normal schedule, with some relay's added to the mix.  Another thing different about this meet is that the boys and girls times, heights, distances, in each event are added together and the overall winner of each event is dependent on both the girls and the boys, as well as the overall winner of the meet.  So, it may look like the girls were first in an event, but if the boys don't do as well, they may not win the event overall.  Also, this meet is starting later with the intent that many of the events will be run when it is darker and under the lights, thus the meet being considered a Twilight. 
The girls will find out today if they are in this meet or not.  There were a lot of different events, so it took a while to figure it all out.  Plus, not everyone is in this meet.  We are limited to two individuals in each event and one relay team per relay event, so we were not able to get everyone in.  

Irondale: 2425 Long Lake Road, New Brighton, MN 55112. Go East on Hwy 10 and continue on Hwy 47 towards Northtown and exit at Country Road 10.  Go East (left) on CR 10 and continue to Long Lake Road.  Take a right onto Long Lake Road and go about a mile, the school will be on your left.

 

But, if you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks
Denny
