Week of September 8/Waconia Wildcat Invite

Below is information for the week to come.  Practices will continue with weight training for the high school runners at 2:25 and then the running portion will begin at 3:15 when the middle school runners get there. 

We will be going to a new meet for us, the Wildcat Invite at Crown College on Thursday.  There is a link to the information that Waconia has sent to us, but there are also directions as well as who will be running in which race.  We will be doing a change with our boys since the majority of them are 9th or 10th graders, young in racing and close together in time.  We will be running our only 2 seniors on Varsity, our top two runners, and the rest of the high schoolers in the JV race.  We want to build their confidence, to not only make us stronger for this season, but start building for next year as well.  Plus, we can honestly say we have 9 of them that are trying to fill 8 spots for the Griak Invite next week, and would like for them to compete and race together for those spots this week.  

The bus will be leaving at 2:00 Thursday.  The meet will get done earlier than last week, so it should not be as late of a night.  However, if you need to bring your runner home after their race, please let me know in advance.
