Season end rapidly approaching

Dear Parents,                                                                                    October 14, 2016

Thank you for all of your support this season.  The rides to practice, cheering us on at meets, hooking us up with chocolate milk, having our senior pictures taken and put up in the gym, driving us around for the homecoming relay, organizing a terrific meal and opening up you house to us at the homecoming relay, helping out at the spaghetti dinner and water stops, has made this a memorable season.

We are rapidly approaching the end of the season and the fruits of all the hard work your children have done will become evident.  Our final junior high competition of the season will be at the MRC meet on Tuesday October 18^th at Baylor Park north of Norwood.  Junior High kids are encouraged (but not required) to continue practicing with us until the following Tuesday October 25^th to participate in the JV extravaganza.  We love having them around and would like to see what they can run at the high school distance (5k). 

We are very excited about next weeks MRC meet at Baylor and are anxious to showcase your children’s talents.  We are hoping you can come out and support us it is very motivating hearing big cheers for Belle Plaine.  The remainder of next week we will be holding practices.  Thursday the 20^th and Friday the 21^st practice will be at 9:00 am.

The final meet of the year everyone is able to participate in is the JV Extravaganza a meet we host to promote the future or our team.  It will be held at the Ney Center on Tuesday October 25^th, see race times below.  This is a very exciting meet one you will not want to miss. 

The Section 2A meet will be held at Riverside country club half way between Winnebago and Blue Earth on Thursday October 27^th.  We are limited to have 9 runners on the roster with 7 of them running the other 2 back ups.  Top 2 teams will advance to the state and top 8 individuals not on one of those teams will advance.  We will bring as many kids that have practiced and competed to the JV extravaganza that want to come and will be stopping on the way home in Mankato again.  Hope to see you there.

Finally.  We will celebrate and recognize this seasons accomplishments at our end of the season potluck on Monday November 14^th in the high school commons beginning at 6:00 pm and going to around 8:00 pm.  This is our time to acknowledge the hard work the team has put in this year.

Thank you, for your incredible support of Belle Plaine Tiger Cross-country.  We can’t do what we do without such wonderful parents.
