Home Meet Volunteers Needed! - Thursday September 10

We need a minimum of 10-12 volunteers for the home meet next Thursday (the meet is run in Mayhew Creek Park that is adjacent to the high school).  Here is a link to the map of the park:

 http://www.ci.sauk-rapids.mn.us/vertical/sites/%7B0431F973-8F1A-45B9-BC40-963EF7BF7919%7D/uploads/%7BD5530FB6-F843-44A2-9DA7-16461E8535EC%7D.PDF


Volunteers are needed to stand at different points on the course to make sure the runners don’t make the wrong turn on the course.  If we get enough volunteers, then we should not have to worry about our volunteers working more than one or two of the six races.  We will also make sure you are able to watch your son’s or daughter’s race!   If you volunteer, make sure you bring water and bug spray with as it can be hot and buggy on the course!

Coach Zeilenga needs a parent volunteer to step up and coordinate all of the volunteers on race day so sh e can focus on the team and other race logistics at the venue.   Please let Coach know if you can help or help coordinate all the volunteers. 


Practice Time & Date Reminders!

Just a reminder that there is no practice today (Wed 9/2) for school open houses as well as no practice on Labor Day (Mon 9/7).  Also, practice time on Friday has been switched to 8-10 am!

Please mark your schedules accordingly.

Season Opening Pot Luck - Thursday September 10

We will be holding our annual season opening pot luck after the award ceremony in the High School commons for the runners and their families.   Food will be held in a room to be determined as you arrive at the school on Thursday. 

Families should bring their own beverages.  Food assignments are as follows:

Grades 7 & 8: Fruits and/or Veggies
Grade 9: Desserts
Grade 10: Side Dishes
Grade 11 & 12: Main Dishes

Families are welcome to bring more than one dish if they desire! 

The coaches will be supplying eating utensils,  plates, napkins, etc.   We have roughly 50 runners on the team. 

The pot luck will give families an opportunity to meet other CC families and all of the athletes.  So please mark your calendars as we look forward to next Thursday!
