NWSC Meet Results

Congratulations to Ruby as she finished an impressive 2nd place at the Northwest Suburban Conference Meet today in Elk River, running an all-time best time for herself, as well as breaking her own school record for 5K!  She helped the Girls team to a 9th place finish out of 13 teams, moving up from 11th a year ago.  The Boys team, led by Dagi, 44th, and Josh, 45th, finished in 13th place as a team, despite missing one of our top runners. However, 6 of the 9 Boys ran Season or All Time PR's as did 17 of the 28 runners on the team, with many others being within seconds of Season or All Time PR's!  

It was a near perfect weather day, with solid course that was still challenging, but our times continue to improve, and that is all we can ask of the runners.  Put forth solid efforts and continue to do the work to help reach goals.  Thanks to all of those that were able to make it out support the runners!  

Two other items of note:  

1st, the Boys team will be running the Game Ball on Friday for the annual Homecoming Run from the opposing school.  This year is from Hopkins High School and the Boys will be running in groups of 4 or 5, with each group running 5 miles.  We will have a bus that will pick us up at 3:00 and drive us down to Hopkins, as well as be with us the whole time.  I will also be biking with them the whole time.  The total route will be about 20.8 miles long, with us crossing the Mississippi River at the CR Dam.  A lot of planning has been put into it, and it is a great team bonding experience!  This will be I believe the 20th year of this tradition, that will bring the team out onto the Football field before the game begins at 7:00.  The Girls team will still have practice at our normal time.

2nd, there will not be an ABC 3K at Greenhaven.  I have a feeling that this race will no longer happen.

Thanks and any questions, please let me know,
