Apple Valley/Week Ahead

Apple Valley

The Eagle Invite at Apple Valley wasn't quite the meet the team was hoping for, but it was one in which to learn from and to motivate those that struggled and for the team to come together.  The Varsity finished 12th out of 22 teams, led by Jackson B in 16th and David D in 28th.  The JV team was dealing with the absence of a few and illness in a couple of others, but held their own and finished in 13th out 24 teams, with Emmett H having another solid race finishing 27th out of 455 runners.  Paul B continues to have a solid first year as he was the top Cardinal finisher of the day, finishing in 2nd in the 9th Grade and Under race to help the team finish in 9th out of 16 teams. 

Next Up:

Mustang Invite on Friday, Sep. 28th at Chippewa Middle School in North Oaks: 5000 Hodgson Road, North Oaks, 55126, which will be for our JV boys that are not racing on Saturday.  We will have boys in both the Gold and Green race, but need to talk to the Middle School boys to see if they are wanting to run a 5K or the JH/MS race.
