Conference Champions!

v
It's not every year that you get to post the words "Conference Champions!" multiple times. It was so exciting to be in Mankato this weekend. Both the men and the women had great performances that resulted in a great team finish for both squads. The women captured the first ever indoor conference championship. The men improved on their 9th place finish from last year and moved up to 3rd. With the young men and women who have already decided to join the program for next year I have no doubt that we will again find ourselves on top of the podium.

Because I was coaching so much I didn't get a chance to get many pictures. One of our athletes Halvard Lange was able to get some pictures. I will include them in this post just as soon as I can get my hands on them.

Final Results

Looking Forward

The next two weeks are going to be busy for our coaching staff. This weekend head coach Tracy Hellman will travel to the Caribbean to watch freshman Kyle Blakeslee compete in the North American, Central American, & Carribean Cross Country Championships, held in Mt. Irvine, Tobago on March 6. This will be a great experience for Kyle and for coach Hellman.

The following weekend we will be taking a group of athletes out to Albuquerque, NM for the national championships.
