Centennial 9/10

Results for our team are now posted.  There were overall meet results, with the team finishing 6th out of 8 teams.  I will try to find a way to get the overall results posted, but you will not be able to find them online.
There will not be anyone from our team competing in tonight's Hamline Elite Meet.  This is not a bad thing, because it gives us an opportunity to get some good work in, especially since we had snow on the track at this time last week, and it was raining on Wednesday.
Next up will be the Blaine Invite on Tuesday.  This will be a Varsity only meet, so we will be limited on our numbers.  Those that do not compete on Tuesday will be in the JV meet on Thursday, which is at Andover.
Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Fan Shirts

The Fan Shirts are in and are organized.  Those that are going to the track meet will get theirs when we get back from the meet tonight.  All others will be given out at practice on Friday.
Thanks

Centennial 9/10

Just go word that the meet for today is going to happen, despite the current weather and predicted weather.  The Pole Vault will not happen though, so if your athlete was planning on that event, they will not be there.
If anything changes in the next couple of hours, I will let you know,
Thanks
Denny

Champlin/Centennial

Our results for the Champlin Park Dual are now posted.  I don't believe there was any overall results, but if by chance they did keep track of those and I get them, I will get them out as well.  But, it was a solid performance for the girls that were at the meet.  Many improvements, even from those who competed on Monday as well.  Still many things to work on though, but it was nice to get a more relaxing meet in as we start to get closer to the bigger meets.
As of right now, the Centennial 9/10 Meet is still on and the weather is starting to look more promising Thursday afternoon.  But, if there are any changes, I will let you know.  The meet will start at 3:45 and it will be a normal schedule with all events being held.  We are limited to 5 athletes per open event and up to 3 relay teams per relay event, so we will be getting a lot of athletes in.  We will be letting the girls know at practice today if they are competing tomorrow and in which events.
Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Shakopee Invite Results

Meet results from last nights Shakopee Invite can be found on Wayzata Results, but I have added a link below.  They were missing one of our 300m Hurdlers, so results will change compared to what is posted at this moment.

Tough wind to deal with and some of the best Girls Teams in the State as well. We held our own in many areas and showed some improvements in others, but it lets us know how much further we have to go if we want to become one of the better teams in the State again.
Tuesday's meet at Champlin Park is to start at 3:45 and will be a normal schedule of events, minus the 3200m run, which will not be run at this meet.  Also, not all of our athletes will be there.  Some that competed yesterday are staying back and getting a workout in.  Any questions, please let me know.
Thanks

Week Ahead

Monday is the rescheduled day for the Shakopee Invite.  All of those that are going need to be at the school by 1:45, so the bus can leave by 2:00.  For those not going, sprinters and pole vaulters, there will be practice at the track at 12:00pm.
Tuesday's meet is still going to happen.  It will be a Varsity/JV Meet, in which we will probably run more JV runners, but it will depend on each individual coach as far as much the Varsity runners will do.  The bus will leave at 2:45, and the meet will start at 3:45 at Champlin Park High School.
Thursday will be a 9/10th grade meet, but we will try to get as many of the JV runners and athletes in so we can continue to get them time to compete.  This meet will be at Centennial and will start at 3:45.
Friday as the Hamline Elite Meet which is something that we will enter athletes, but we will not know who, if any, will be participating in.  It is a Varsity meet, but you have to technically qualify, or be in the top so many times, heights, distance of those that enter athletes.  We will know by Wednesday who is in.
I am hoping that the Fan Shirts will be in this week, so we will hopefully get those out to everyone soon.
Thank you to athletes and parents that were able to help on Saturday with the Basketball Tourney. Word is that it was a positive fundraiser and we will hopefully be able to replace out aging hurdles.
If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks,
Denny

Shakopee on Monday

So we will be going to the Shakopee Invite on Monday, April 21 with the same start time of 3:30 and the same schedule of events.  The bus will leave at 2:00 on Monday.  The weather looks like it will be much more favorable, close to 70 possibly, so this should work out fine.  I will check with all of the girls today that were supposed to go to Shakopee to see if they can on Monday as well, and if need be, we will make changes.  I will let them all know today if they are competing on Monday or not.  We will still be going to the Champlin Park meet on Tuesday the 22nd, but we may not run all of our Varsity girls, or in their normal events. 
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks
Denny
