Anoka Dual Results

Our individual result are now posted on the right side of the blog.  Once I get Anoka's times I will post the overall results as well.

Congratulations to Andre for winning his first race and starting the season on a high note.  Also congrats to Ilsa for placing 2nd in the girls race, on what was a warmer race than hoped for, and tough knowing that we were in our first race a week earlier than usual.  

It was a good start, with what I was looking for was how they did the first mile as well as the first lap, and how they finished.  We knew as coaches that we wouldn't be at our best and we are also a ways off from where we would like to be, but the first step is out of the way, they got the first race in, and we were at a solid position in both races through the mile and half way through the race.  We will have some work to do to build to the next step, but with more work all the runners will be improving and getting more comfortable racing and know more of what they are capable of doing this season.

Our next meet will not be until Sep 11, back at Anoka, so we have two weeks to get ready and it will be fun to see how much the runners could improve by that meet, as well as if we can move up on Anoka, whose depth was able to beat both the Girls and the Boys teams today.

Thanks for those that came out today.  It was a little different and I'm sure things will be tweaked by the next meet to make things run smoother.
