Osseo Results

A really nice night out lead to a another positive step forward for both the Boys and the Girls teams today at Elm Creek!  24 Season Bests or All Time PR's came from the runners that raced and it showed in the team results as well, with both the Boys and Girls Varsity teams and the Boys JV team all gaining top 10 finishes out of the 20+ teams that were competing!  

Peyton lead the way for our individual finishers with a Top 10 finish himself, earning 9th place overall in the Boys Varsity race.  On the Girls Varsity, Ruby was the first to finish for the Cardinals with a solid 13th place finish overall.  Not to be out done by the Varsity, Hannah was 3rd and Emmy was 7th in the Middle School Girls race!

It was a lot of fun to see the compete level continue to grow with these two teams and to know that we were a little shorthanded and possibly could have been higher up in the standings.  We continue to move in the right direction and will continue to make adjustments and try to bring everyone to their bests at the right time.

Next up is the Cardinal Cup 2 Mile Time Trial on Monday evening at Cardinal Stadium, with the first race going at 7:00 and the second to follow shortly after the first finishes.  This will be a great opportunity for the runners to push a little faster than they usually do, but also be able to do so under the lights.

Lastly, on Saturday we do have a scheduled practice at 9:00am.  We understand that there are some family and other priorities that will prevent everyone from being there, but we still would like as many as possible to make the workout.  From start to finish, we should be about an hour long. Also, we are going to meet at a different park than we have in the past, to mix it up and give the runners a different place to put in some work.  We are going to meet at Pine Hills North Park in Andover, about 7 miles from the High School.  The address is 3535 161st Ave NW, Andover.  To get there, take Round Lake Blvd North to 161st Ave, take a left, go about 1/4 mile, and the park entrance be on the right.

Thanks for all of those that were able to make the races today!
