Coon Rapids JV Dual

Here is a rough estimate of when each event is tomorrow for our JV Dual vs. Blaine.  If possible, we will try to keep rolling along in order to get the meet done in a timely fashion.  Also, please remember that we expect the girls to stay for the whole meet to show support for all of their teammates.  If you are needing have your athlete leave early, please let me know before hand.
Thanks
Denny

Blaine Invite Results

Results from last nights Blaine Invite are now posted on the side of the blog and if you would like to look at the overall meet results, you can find them at the following link Blaine Invite or click above on Prime Time Timing, click into results and look for Blaine Invite.

But a much improved meet for the Girls.  We finished in 3rd out of 6 teams, fairly close on 2nd place, with the girls running some of the fastest times on the season in many of the running events.  We still are working to get to our top level and to give the girls the best opportunity to have their best performances as we move through the month and really hit it hard in the last races of the season!

Next up is the Coon Rapids JV vs. Blaine on Thursday, starting at 3:45 at CRHS.  There will not be any team scores for this meet, just more of an opportunity for both teams JV athletes.  The girls will be expected to stay for the whole meet, and if they are to leave, parents/athletes must check out with myself so we as a coaching staff know who is still around.  In the past couple of meets, we have had a few leave without any notification, and we have had to check with other athletes to see if we were missing someone or if they have gone home with a parent.

Thanks and if there are any questions, please let me know,

Blaine Invite

Here is the schedule for the Blaine Invite today.  This is a Varsity only meet, so the girls have been notified who is competing and who will not.  For those not competing today, practice is at normal time, and they are expected to be there.  Some of them still have an opportunity to be on Varsity this season, so we want to see who wants to get a spot on Varsity.
If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Hamline Elite Meet

Tonight is the Hamline Elite Meet.  This is a meet that is not for everyone on our team.  We have to submit times, heights, and distances, as do others schools interested, and then the top so many are selected to compete. 

This year we have two individuals competing, Brielle Clarke in the 100m Dash and Kalley Harris in the 100m Hurdles and the 300m Hurdles.  Brielle will have prelims at 5:35, and then if she qualifies for finals will run at 6:35. Kalley will run at 6:25 for the 100m Hurdles and 7:50 for the 300m Hurdles, where she will be one of the favorites to win.  If you are wanting to see how they are doing, but not wanting to drive down, you can see their live times at Wayzataresults.com

I am still working on putting up results from last nights 9/10 Meet at Centennial.  I am waiting on results from a few field events before I put them up.  I am also waiting to get the final overall meet results, so I am not sure where we finished as a team.

But, the weather was cold, one of the coldest that we have had, but the athletes worked hard and did the best that they could for the conditions.  It has been a rough couple of last weeks for meets and practices (minus last Saturday) for many of the girls, so we are hoping for the some better weather soon to get their spirits high and to see what they can do when they are not worried about the wind, the rain, the cold, or all three at once!

Last thing, we are taking the team picture today after school at the track and then we are still practicing.  Looks like the weather will be much nicer and the sun should be out for the picture.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Spring Lake Park JV Results

Results for our team for last nights JV meet at Spring Lake Park are now posted on the right side of the blog.  There were no overall meet results, but, despite the wet conditions, I thought that our girls held their own and in many cases improved on their previous season, or all time, personal bests in their events.

Next up is the Centennial 9/10 Meet, Thursday, April 27.  Most of the athletes that are 10th grade and younger will be in this meet, unless their coach is having them stay back to do a work out.  We are, however, limited to 8 entries in the individual events, and 3 relay's per relay event.  With this, we as coaches will be deciding who will be in which event, much like our Varsity meets.  We will be letting the girls know at practice today which event(s) they will be in.  The weather does look like it will be much better tomorrow!!

Finally, our team pictures are on Friday after school. Picture forms will be available for the athletes today at practice. 

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Any questions, let me know,

Maverick Invite Results

You can find the results from today's meet in Mankato can be found at the top of the blog under the link for Wayzata Results, or at this link Maverick Invite

As for how we did, there were some strong performances and many improvements. We were short on a few of our Varsity runners, but those that were asked to compete stepped up and are making the team stronger, as well as giving themselves experience that can help them when we get to some of the bigger meets. We had a lot of young athletes get points and help the team to finish 4th place out of the 6 team meet. There is still much work to do, and we will continue to work on get the girls to the top of their performance.
The next meet is on Tuesday at Spring Lake Park High School is going to be a JV only meet. Most of our athletes will be participating in this meet, but our top Varsity girls will be staying behind to do workouts. Thursday will be a 9/10th grade meet at Centennial, so all of our athletes 10th grade and younger, and possibly a few older, will be competing.
If you have any questions, please let me know,
Thanks,
Denny
