The Rest of the Week

I am very excited about our first competition at Mankato East.  There were many outstanding performances.  Most athletes are well ahead of where they were last year at this time.  The Junior High boys, JV boys and girls each won their races while the varsity teams each finished in third behind Mankato East and Orono.

Thursday practice at 3:20.

Friday practice at 8:00 am.

No practice until Tuesday after school.  Enjoy the labor day weekend.

Parents Night plus

Reminder Parents Night is Monday August 25th in the high school lunch room beginning at 6:30 pm.  Parents and the entire family are invited.  Everything is provided.  I look forward to meeting all of you.

Monday's practice begins early with pictures at 2:30 pm.  Bring your uniform for pictures.

Tuesday is our first official meet at Mankato East.  The course is at the Mankato East High School campus with Junior High running at 4:00 pm.  Boys varsity and junior varsity run at 4:20 and Girls varsity and junior varsity run at 4:45.

Mid point of week two

So we have had the first taste of competition on Monday at the Jamboree.  The kids ran very well on the same course they will run the MRC championships on later in the year.  I was especially impressed with our new runners how well they competed and supported their teammates.  Tuesday was a big practice day with a morning hill workout on Grove Street.  If your child survived that they are well on their way to having an excellent season.  Into the pool after our morning run on Wednesday and the watermelon relay.  We have also hit the weight room twice already this week.  Your kids are working incredibly hard.  Tomorrow morning we are taking busses out to the ney center for our morning practice.  Friday only a morning practice.

Make plans to attend the parents night BBQ on Monday evening with your family.  We will be having hotdogs and hamburgers and your entire family is invited.  Next Tuesday will be our first official meet at Mankato East.  Thanks for transporting your kids we have had a great time so far.
