We had a great turn out for our season end awards and pot
luck on Monday evening! A huge “thank
you” to the parents for the awesome display of food at the pot luck and a “shout
out” to our athletes/runners for their
enthusiasm during the presentation of the awards. Coach Zeilenga did a great job outlining
where our program is currently and where we want to go (let’s fill up two buses
to the meets next season!).
Team awards, conference academic awards, performers of the
week, certificates of participation, varsity letters and a six year
participation jacket were awarded to the various runners. Next season’s captains were also named as
well.
Team yearbooks were distributed via email on Monday. If you know of someone who didn’t get one,
please forward them the email or print off a copy and give it to them if they
don’t have computer access. Please reply
back if you know of someone who still wants one and we can make arrangements to
get one to that person.
I will stay on board to assist with compiling the yearbook
next season, communicate via the blog /email
and submit articles to the Sauk Rapids Herald. However, I do want a parent to step up and
volunteer to be the point person to work with the coaching staff next season to
plan our activities, coordinate volunteers for the home meet, etc. If you have interest, please contact one of
the coaches or myself to discuss. I
would be happy to talk about what is needed.
Lastly, I offered to assist with the families of the runners
who wish to make running “their sport” from a competitive standpoint next season.
If you and your runner want to head into
fall practice next season ready to work hard and be competitive, please reply
and let me know if you wish to participate.
I will be meeting with a group of parents/runners in the near future to
discuss off season training plans, running camp potentials, local race
opportunities, etc. I sincerely hope we can get a core of
competitive runners ready BEFORE the 2015 starts!
Go Storm!!
