2019 Girls Track and Field
End of Season Banquet

When: June 10, 2019, 5:30pm

Where: Coon Rapids High School Auditorium and Foyer

This will be more of a formal gathering to look back, reflect, and celebrate the 2019 Season.  We are planning a Social hour in the Auditorium Foyer with cake, veggie/fruit trays and other finger type foods as well as a few beverages this year, followed by the presentation of awards in the Auditorium. 

We want this to be an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other in a relaxed setting and then have the presentation in a setting that might be more meaningful.

Being this is a formal gathering; the athletes should be dressed in attire that is more formal.

If there are any questions, please contact Denny 

Thanks,
Coach Green and the
2019 Captains

Conference Results

Our Individual Results are now posted on the right side of the blog.  You can find the Overall Results by click on Raceberry Jam above.  Once they send us the Overall Results I will put a direct link to them.

Congrats to Grace Henneman, 100 High Hurdles, and Abby Russ, 300 Intermediate Hurdles, as they earned All Conference today at the Northwest Suburban Conference Meet. 

Honorable Mentions went to Courtney Killian in the Triple Jump; Courtney, Olivia Ellenbecker, Anna Nummela and Ajwato Ongwach in the 4x400; and Fayza Akeri, Abby Russ, Anna, and Beni Kalala in the 4x100.

All four of our Relays ran Season Bests and we had many Season Bests in all of our events today.  We are in a very competitive conference and every team has solid performers.  It is not easy seeing our team at the bottom of the standings, but one cannot be upset or disappointed in how the Girls did as a team.

Next up is the Section 5AA Meet at Hamline University next Wednesday and Friday.

Thanks,
Denny
