Trinity CC - Practice Week Twelve

Hello,

The official cross country season has ended for all Trinity runners other than Mary Ennis, who has qualified for the State Meet with her 4th place finish at Sections.

We are encouraging all CC runners to come out and train with Mary this week as time is available in their schedules, but practice is longer a required commitment. However, it is a great way to extend your training with teammates while we still have great weather!

Here's the schedule for the upcoming week...

Week Twelve Schedule:
Monday, November 1st - 3:30-5:00pm at Trinity School
Tuesday, November 2nd - 3:15-7:00pm going to St. Olaf College - We will leave immediately following the school day and run the course for Saturday. If any CC runners would like to make the trip, we have a limited number of seats - please let me know as soon as possible. We also plan to stop for supper before returning to Trinity. Another group of CC runners will be running at school from 3:30-5:00pm as well if you do not have time to make the trip to Northfield.
Wednesday, November 3rd - Run On Your Own - option to run at 7:00am at Trinity School
Thursday, November 4th - 3:30-5:00pm at Trinity School
Friday, November 5th - 3:30-5:00pm at Trinity School
Saturday, November 6th - State Meet at St. Olaf College - Class A Boys Race at 10:00am, Class A Girls Race at 11:00am (Mary Ennis). We plan to be at the race site by 9:00am. I hope as many teammates and fans can make the trip to Northfield to cheer Mary on for the race. If you want to attend, but need a ride to the event, please let me know as soon as possible.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse

Section 4A Meet Results

Hello,

We had a much better weather than anticipated for our Section meet. We gave it all we had and the Girls team ended with a 3rd place finish, the best in school history...and the Boys team finished in 10th place.

We had Maria Stephenson running approximately 3850 meters of her race with one shoe and Charlie Leighton gutting it out a week after bronchitis. I am very proud of our total team effort today.

Congratulations to Mary Ennis on earning a berth to the State Meet with her 4th place finish!

The future is bright for Tri-Hawk cross country with no seniors on the current roster!

Boys vs Girls Race Results

Hello,

If you were in attendance at the Boys vs Girls race on Saturday, you are aware that there were some issues with runners that took a longer route toward the finish of the race.

The first 7 runners that came to the end of the trail with 250 meters to the finish, ended up taking another loop and ran close to 900 meters too much to the finish.

I am going to post results as they were, and a revised list of results with the order of the runners to the 3k mark before taking the wrong path.

MCAA Conference Meet Results

We had great weather and an excellent competitive effort today at the conference meet.

The Boys team was able to win their 7th conference title in 8 years and the Girls team won their first conference championship in school history in style by sweeping the top 5 spots and recording a perfect score!

Because of some discrepancies with the course layout compared to last season, I remeasured the course following the race and found the boys course to be 114 meters long and the girls course to be 102m long.

I have made some conversion adjustments to give our runners more accurate times for the expected 4k and 5k distances.

Here are the results from the MCAA Conference Meet:
