Griak/Osceola Information

Below is the information for both Friday's Roy Griak Invite at the Les Bolstad Golf Course in St Paul, and Saturday's Osceola Invite at the Osceola Intermediate School.  For Friday, we are in the Gold Division for both the boys and the girls races.  Start times are 4:30 for boys and 5:15 for girls.  For Saturday, there is only one race for the Girls (10:00) and one for the Boys (10:30). Please note that at both races, pets are Not allowed.

One other item of note, the Girls team will be wearing Pink uniform tops for both days. We are hoping it will be easier to spot our Girls during the Griak race.

Lastly, for those that will be running on Saturday, they are all more than welcome to come with and watch the races on Friday, though we would still like for them to do their workout.   For any of the JV that do not come along, you will still have practice and a workout to do.  Also, for Saturday's races, those that raced on Friday are welcome to come with for support.

Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny
