Thursday Schedule

Here are the times for Thursday's meet at Anoka.  I also changed it on the previous post:
10:00 - Boys (All)
10:40 - Girls (All)

These are the only two races of the meet, which will make the meet go by quicker.
Thanks
Denny

Week of August 31st

Below is our schedule for the upcoming week for practices and our first meet on the season. Not sure if the boys or the girls will be first at Thursday's meet, but as soon as I find out I will let you all know.
Also, both teams will be getting uniforms and locks/lockers on Monday.  Please be to the school by 2:15 so when we are able to get our things that we are prepared.  We will meet downstairs by the equipment room.
Lastly, the captains will have a list for Pasta Party sign up on Monday as well.  A couple of spots have been filled already, so please check the schedule on the right to see what is available if you would be interested in having one of the teams over to your home.  You do not need to take both teams.  We are wanting to set it up that the girls will be at one location and the boys at another location, unless you want to have both.
Any questions, please let me know.
Thanks
Denny

Cardinal Cup

Overall results for tonight's Cardinal Cup Time Trial are now posted on the right hand side under results.  I will work on individual results with an estimated 5K time by the end of the weekend.

But, an overall positive night.  It would have been nice if more of the girls would have been able to make the race, but all showed improvement and worked hard.  It was a solid way to start the racing and a chance for the runners to see where they are at as of right now!

Congrats to the Red team for the boys and the Black team for the girls on their victories tonight.  Scores were close across the board, so it was fun to see how it would all work out!

A schedule for next week will be posted by the end of the weekend as well, but Monday's practice will be at 3:15 at the High School, with uniforms and lockers being handed out.  I will give the runners a schedule for the week as well on Monday.

If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Team Time Trial

Reminder that the Team Time Trial, The Cardinal Cup, is on Thursday at Riverview Park, across the street from the National Little League fields on 2420 105th Avenue.  Runners should be there by 5:15, with the Parent Meeting being at 5:45 and the time trial starting at 6:00.
The runners will be on separate teams, which they will find out about tonight and will wear either Red, White, or Black depending on the team they will be on.  It makes it a little more fun and competitive this way.
If you have any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny

Running Camp Item List

Running camp is this week and we felt we should inform everyone that is going some of the items to look for and bring for the three days of running.

We will be heading to Afton State Park near Afton, MN on Friday, August 28 around 11:00am and it will be a cost of $10. 

The drive will be just under an hour, depending on traffic.  Cell phone coverage should be decent out there, but if there is an emergency, in which you need to get a hold of your son, please call Afton State Park.

Some items that should be brought with include:

-          Tent (we will share tents, so not everyone will need one)

-          Sleeping bag and pillow

-          A towel, bathroom items

-          Bug Spray, Sun Screen

-          Stuff for swimming

-          A pair of warm up pants or jeans for at night

-          A sweatshirt or jacket

-          Clothes to run in, including shoes. 

-          For food, dinner will be covered. 

-          The runners should bring items for breakfast, lunch and snacking as well as beverages (to cut down on garbage, think of bringing a water bottle and mix packets, not cases of bottles) for all meals. 

-          Other items that can be taken with include games, music, and a water bottle or two. 

-          Please remind your athlete that we are only going for 2 nights, 3 days, so a ton of stuff is not needed, think about sharing coolers with other runners.

We will be leaving the Park area around 12:00 – 1:00 on Sunday the 30^th and should be arriving back at the high school around 1:00 – 2:00.

 
Any questions, let me know,
Thanks, Denny

Wednesday All Sports Meeting

On Wednesday, Aug. 5, at 7:00pm, in the high school auditorium there will be an all fall sports meeting followed by individual sports meetings for the upcoming seasons. This will be an important meeting for the CC Running teams this year because both the boys and girls teams will be combined this year, and I feel it will be important let everyone know what these changes will entail.
If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please let me know.  The season starts on Monday, August 17, and we want to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Thanks,
Denny
