Hello Team and Parents,

THANKS so much for all who participated with our annual St. Paul Triathlon event.  Several triathletes approached me afterwards stating how well everyone represented their team.  We realize not everyone could attend due to various reasons.  However, thanks to the huge group was there.  Your commitment is much appreciated!  We do not have any further fundraising as a result.

Please be aware that the team t-shirts are being ordered.  The booster fee is $15 which includes the shirt.  Please turn that in if you haven't already.  Thanks.

The annual "Run Under the Lights" is this Wed. night.  We will race at 8:30pm.  Please be there ready to warm up at 7:15.  The PARENT MEETING will be at about 7:45 in the stands.

I have entered everyone in the meet for next Friday.  The meet is at St. Olaf College in Northfield.

RACE TIMES
Boys 5k -- 1:00 p.m.
Girls 4k -- 2:00 p.m.

JV and V all together for this one.

We are meeting at East Ridge at 10:30 am for the bus.  We will return at approx. 4pm or so.

Most CC meets do not require any ticket which is true for this one as well.  (For our second meet, at St. Croix Bluffs, there is a park permit cost).  There will be shirts for sale for $10 if anyone would like to buy one.

Remember we continue to practice from 8:30-10am this week (optional 7pm on T and Th with Coach Ness), 9am Sat. Then, next week begins our afternoon practices which will be the practice time for the season.  Please refer to calendar for our meet and practice schedule.

We have a great group working hard out there. Coach Gramer, Coach Ness and I are looking forward to your continued progress. Keep it up, runners.
