Trinity CC - Week Twelve Schedule


Hello,

We have entered the final week of the cross country season, with Henry Brink and the Girls team 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 27th - 3:30-5:00pm at Trinity School
Tuesday, October 28th - 3:00-7:30pm - 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 around 7:30pm.
Wednesday, October 29th - Run On Your Own - option to run at 6:45am at Trinity School
Thursday, October 30th - 3:30-5:00pm at Trinity School
Friday, October 31st - 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 event program, and come back to Trinity by 5:00pm.  Because we will be getting out of school...only those running will plan to make the trip with the coaches.  For everyone else, this is a Run On Your Own day.
Saturday, November 1st - State Meet at St. Olaf College - Class A Boys Race at 10:00am (Henry Brink), Class A Girls Race at 11:00am (Theresa Mueller, Lotus Schifsky, Ahna Neil, Becca Wilkin, Grace Ennis, Charlotte Howland, Anna Maunu, Katie Michalak, Elizabeth Neil). We plan to take a caravan from Trinity at 7:45am to be at the race site by 8:30am.  We will stay through the Class A awards ceremony that will start around 12:00pm and finish around 12:45pm.  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 around 3:00pm.

We are hoping that many teammates and fans can make the trip to Northfield to cheer on Henry Brink and the Girls team at State!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse

Swain Invitational Results

Hello,

The weather was much improved from the Swain meet experience last season.  That said, conditions were still difficult - a wet, soggy course with bad footing, temperature in the mid-40s, and 30 mile per hour winds again for most of the day.  Our Tri-Hawk runners again met the challenge and turned in some fantasic performances.  Our toughness throughout the team was on display and made this a great meet for growth and to prepare for important meets ahead.

Here are the Trinity CC results from the Swain Invitational:
