Whew! River Falls under our belts...what a great meet!
If you get Brett's tweets, you know that the Boys Varsity and JV both got 1st place out of 11 teams! Varsity scored 20 points with 5 runners in the top 6. Congratulations to these boys!
If this is your first season, you will probably not know how unusual this is and how much hard work it has taken these athletes off-season to be this prepared! I believe that the 2nd place Varsity team had over 70 points. That means the boys steamrolled their competition!
The girls also did a nice job led by Savanah Vold who started the season strong with a "podium" finish! (Can't remember what place, can anyone comment what it was?)
Great to see all the Mayo parents braving the weather to support the team!

Message from Brock Grafstrom: Missing from the meet today... a gray hooded Mayo Spartans sweatshirt with a shoelace enclosure and Grafstrom on the inside tag.
Follow up from me: Obviously I did not foresee the construction that threw us all off once we arrived at the parking lot! Sorry about that snafu!
Also...had more than one person asked whether I got a ticket when I was pulled over two years ago...and the answer is no! Not entirely sure why!
Have a great Labor Day weekend! When we get back, will have to begin planning for the Mayo Invite in earnest. DeAnna Schleusner reports that the day of the meet is National Volunteer Day...so just one more reason to be ready to pitch in! We will need all hands on deck that day!
Nice job, everyone! Savannah took 4th place, by the way.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone on the team (i.e., boys, girls, varsity, JV, C) who wants to run this weekend, Chad and I will be at Soldier's Field at 3 p.m. on Sunday and 9 a.m. on Monday.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
