State/End of Season

Congratulations to Paul and Nathan as they end the season yesterday at the State Meet.  Paul finished in 75th in 16:52 and Nathan in 129th in 17:18.  Both ran smart races, did what they could and had a great experience!  Thanks to all of those that came down to watch and support these two!!  If you would like to see the results for the meet, you can go to Wayzata Results above or go to mshsl.org, click on Boys Cross Country under Activities and they will be posted on the right side of the page.
But, with this, the season has come to an end, and I would like to thank everyone for all of the hard work and dedication as well as all of the support from the families, parents, and friends of the programs! It make things easier when all of you do what you have been!
A reminder that the banquets will be on Tuesday for the Girls and Wednesday for the Boys.  Both will be at the high school cafeteria at 6:30pm.  Please read the earlier posts on what you need to bring.
Thank you once again for a positive season with lots of growth and potential for the years to come.  If you are in a Winter sport or activity, I wish you all the best.  If you will not be in anything this winter, please see me at the banquet for a Winter Running plan and info on a program that will be held this winter for CR athletes to help you maintain and continue to get better with your running.
Any other questions, please let me know
Thank you!
Denny
