Trinity CC - Week Twelve Schedule

Hello,

We have entered the final week of the cross country season, with Becca Wilkin and Lotus Schifsky still preparing for the State Meet.

For many runners the official cross country season has ended. Practices are optional for any runners that are not running at the State Meet, but practice is no 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...please note the shorter practice times:

Week Twelve Schedule:
Monday, October 28th - 3:30-5:00pm at Trinity School
Tuesday, October 29th - 3:00-7:15pm - 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 eat supper in Northfield before returning to Trinity between 7:00-7:30pm.
Wednesday, October 30th - Run On Your Own - option to run at 6:45am at Trinity School
Thursday, October 31st - 3:30-4:30pm at Trinity School (practice will be short because of Halloween)
Friday, November 1st - 1:00-5:00pm - going to St. Olaf College - We will leave Trinity at 1:00pm and go to Northfield to pickup our registration packet, participate in the pre-meet practice time, and come back to Trinity by 5:00pm.  Because we will be getting out of school...only Becca Wilkin, Lotus Schifsky and Claire Mealey plan to make the trip with the coaches.  For everyone else, this is a Run On Your Own day.
Saturday, November 2nd - State Meet at St. Olaf College - Class A Girls Race at 1:00pm (Becca Wilkin, Lotus Schifsky), Class A Boys Race at 2:00pm. We plan to take a caravan from Trinity at 10:45am to be at the race site by 11:30am.  We will stay through the Class A awards ceremony that will start around 3:00pm and finish around 3:30pm.  We do plan to stop somewhere to eat on the way back from the meet on the edge of the Metro Area and bring kids from the caravan back to Trinity between 5:30-6:00pm.

We are hoping that many teammates and fans can make the trip to Northfield to cheer on Becca and Lotus and experience the races!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse

Section 4A Meet Results

Hello,

We had great weather for the Section 4A Meet today at Battle Creek Park.  The Tri-Hawk runners gave an exceptional team effort and it led to some great performances, some fast times, and even a tie-breaking finish in the Girls Varsity race...which unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of today.

We have had some adversity with the team lately and we handled it well again today to produce such a great team result.  I am very proud of this group of runners.

Congratulations to Becca Wilkin and Lotus Schifsky for earning their trips to the State Meet next Saturday with 2nd and 6th place finishes at Sections!

(131 total boys varsity race runners)

The splits are very strange for a couple of reasons - 1) the 2-mile mark wasn't marked...it was an educated guess on talking to other people and coaches and 2) the final mile for the boys and half-mile for the girls was nearly all downhill to the finish.
