Belle Plaine Cross Country

We have come to the beginning of the 5th week of the season. Doesn't seem like it has been that long. It was nice to see so many of you come to watch the meet. We had 10 people run personal records on Tuesday at the Gerry Smith Redbird Invitational in Montgomery. The girls placed 10th and the boys 11th which put us well in the top half of the 31 team field. Perhaps the best thing to see as a coach was the way teammates supported one another during their races. Another positive was the grouping of our runners near one another. In cross-country having your team in a pack helps tremendously with the score. A couple of things are rapidly approaching. First our meet on Tuesday the 13th at Norwood's Baylor Park. 2:15 students will be dismissed 2:30 bus leaves for Baylor Park 4:00 JV Girls 4000 m 4:05 JV Boys 5000 m 4:40 Girls Varsity 4000 m 5:10 Boys Varsity 5000 m 5:40 JH boys 1600 m 5:45 JH girls 1600 m 6:00 Awards Secondly, next Friday the 16th we travel to St. Olaf in Northfield for a meet on the state meet course. There will only be a boys 5000 m and girls 4000 m race. All varsity and junior varsity runners will run together. Junior high runners have three choices. They can either run with the varsity and jv runners in the 4000 or 5000, they can come along and cheer, or they may stay home and have an extra long weekend since we will not be having practice that day. 2:15 students will be dismissed 2:30 bus leaves for Baylor Park 4:30 Boys 5000 m 5:15 Girls 4000 m If you have questions about anything please email me. Have a great weekend. Running It's What We DO!
