Once again, congratulation to Ilsa on a well deserved and earned All Conference honor at today's NWSC Meet! It was a tough situation for both the Boys and the Girls having to only run against one team and with the Girls racing against two other Girls from PC. It becomes a challenge to just race by yourself or one or two other teammates, and not know how everyone before you has raced. Was it a perfect day for us, nope, but it is a learning experience and one that we are hoping we can use as we get ourselves ready for next weeks Section 5AA Meet at Anoka (times still TBD). What also made things more of a challenge for the Boys was the fact of running at 12:30 in the afternoon, a time that they have not trained at all season, thus making it a difficult adjust for their bodies and knowing how much to eat/drink and when. The Girls had a bit easier in being able to race at a time we usually train or race at, and I feel that helped them run hard. In both races, however, we have things that we have to improve on and most of it are things that are tweaks as we finish out the season. There are a couple of things we will need to work on to be more prepared for next year and if we come across similar situations as what we have had to deal with this year, but we are not going to focus on those, we will just prepare everyone to finish off the season next week with their best possible race for this season.
There is one minor change for the JV meet tomorrow, the Boys will still be first but we are moving their start time to 4:00. The Girls will stay the same with a 5:20 start time.
Friday will be team pictures as well as a normal practice and team voting. Pictures will be different this year in that we are not allowed a "Team" photo but also they have a new way of ordering pics. You will not need to have a form filled out before, and in fact all orders will be done online. What you will need to do is text the code PGWA87573 to 90738 and then David Banks Studios will notify you when the pictures are available to be viewed and ordered. Please note that this will be about a one week period, so you will not be able to order them until you have been notified.
One thing to remember for next week also, is that we will be doing a fun two mile team time trial on the evening of Friday the 16th on the High School Track under the lights. It should be a cool evening and one in which we hope the runners have a good chance to finish strong. So even though tomorrow is the last 5K for most of the team, we are still planning to run through next Friday evening.
Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks,
Denny
