Week Six

Another terrific week is in the books.  We had over 15 personal records (PR's) in our race on Tuesday at Crown College and another 15 or so on Saturday in Apple Valley.  It is great to see so much improvement.  Tuesday our kids did a terrific job we had 4 individual race winners.  Emily Krautkremer won the junior high girls 2000 meter race, Nate Loegering won the junior high boys 2000 meter race, Cheyene Westin won the junior varsity girls 4000 meter race and Jacob Schaffer the boys junior varsity 5000 meter race.  Besides those outstanding individual performances both junior high teams won their race, and the girls varsity and junior varsity teams placed 2nd.  I am sure you all heard about our workout on Thursday if you didn't perhaps you noticed how tired your athlete was Thursday night.

With sore legs in tow Saturday we went up against some pretty tough competition.  Although we finished near the bottom of the standings our performances were pretty good.  There has been a continual improvement by our squads and it is due to their incredible hard work and dedication not only in practice but at home and school as well.

Next up for us is the New Prague invitational at the golf course on Tuesday.  Legs should feel pretty good, we are excited to see how well the kids run.  Then Saturday it is off to Willmar for a 1:00 pm start to what should be an interesting race.  I would just like to thank all the parents, family, and friends that have been coming to cheer us on.  The other day I looked around and we have quite a following.  The kids notice and it is nice having so many cheering fans.  Have a great week.
