Last Saturday Morning Practice and Breakfast 9/22

Please remember our last Saturday morning practice takes place on Saturday September 22, 2012 at the Lindholm's.  Many thanks to the Sunstroms for hosting this past Saturday, the food was unbelievable!

After a great turnout on September 8 (23 runners), we had a poor turnout on September 15 (thanks to those who did show!) and the Sunstroms were stuck with a lot of leftover food.  Please do what you can to be there for practice on Saturday the 22nd.

The Lindholm's live at: 10455 Ferry Point Place NW in Rice.  You can travel Hwy 10 north toward Rice and turn left (west) toward the river on 105th St NW (look for the brown Bend in the River Regional Park sign).  When you get to River Road NE (Benton County Hwy 55), take a right and then a quick left onto Ferry Point.  (or you can travel up the River Road until you get to Ferry Point if you want the scenic route)

See you on Saturday!!

Pancake Breakfast Ticket Fundraiser - Please sell your tickets!!

Just a reminder that we are less than two weeks away from our pancake breakfast on Sunday September 30 at Rollies.  Please make sure that your athletes sells all of their alloted 20 tickets that were given to them the end of August.

Storm Home Meet Information - Thursday September 6

Here are the start times for the races at our home meet on Thursday, September 6:

4:30   Junior High Girls
4:50   Junior High Boys
5:10   JV Girls
5:35   JV Boys
6:00   Varsity Girls
6:20   Varsity Boys

Our home meets are held in Mayhew Creek Park that is adjacent to Sauk Rapids-Rice High School on the school's north side.

All of the races incorporate some type of double loop, so it will be important for those of you who volunteered (thanks again!) to meet with Tim Wright and Kevin Hines at 4 pm so we can locate you properly on the course.   If you have issues coming that early, please talk to Tim or Kevin so we can make arrangements. 

Lastly, other volunteers may be needed just to stand for one race so the volunteers can watch their son or daughter participate.  Most of the spots on the course are in the open, so we would recommend bringing a lawn chair for comfort between races along with sunglasses, hats and water/liquids.  Tim learned this the hard way last year in the 85 degree heat.

First Saturday Morning Breakfast Run - 9/8

Just a reminder of our first Saturday morning breakfast run coming up this Saturday, September 8.  The team will be meeting at the Wright's at 7:30 am sharp.  The Wright's are located at 143 Frontier Court in Sauk Rapids (where the team pot luck was held after the Apollo Early Bird Meet).

After practice is completed, the athletes will enjoy breakfast together.  This is the first of three consecutive Saturday team breakfasts.  See you all on the 8th!
