Pasta Feed and Directions to Owatonna
Pasta Feed at the Luetmer's on Wednesday (5530 Heather Drive SW). Sign up here to help!
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090a48a5a622aa8-pasta2
This week's meet is at Owatonna...the first of 3 meets at this location. If you search directions to Brooktree Golfcourse, you will likely be taken to the clubhouse, which is not actually where you want to be. Take Hwy 14 West. Turn off Hwy 14 at County Rd 43 (44th Ave SE). This is shortly after the railroad tracks (by the farmhouse with the windmill). Go north a couple of miles to a stop sign. Turn left onto County Road 19 (Rose Street). This brings you in to Owatonna from the east (right by the golf course). Turn north on Crestview Lane. Follow Crestview Lane around until you see school buses parked. There is no parking lot-park on the street in the closest spot you can find. If you get there close to the start of the meet, you will probably be walking a little ways.
This is a fun meet-there are lots of places to watch from without having to overdo it :).
Owatonna also has delicious homemade goodies at their concession stand-the rice krispie treats filled with caramel are wonderful :)!

Introducing NXN
A small group of MHS runners have been going to the race called the NXN for the last several years. It has been a word-of-mouth opportunity in the past...but this year the group is determined to get the word out and recruit some more runners!
Please note that this event is a 5K race after the high school cross country season is over and has no affiliation with the Mayo Cross Country team!
Please note also that this event is for ANY LEVEL RUNNER!
Here are some of the details:
What: Nike Cross Nationals Heartland 5K race
When: November 8-9, 2014 (Leaving Saturday around 9am and returning late afternoon on Sunday)
Where: Sioux Falls, SD
Why: Because it's a great way to cap off the season!
Those who have gone speak so highly of this race...it is for all levels of runners and is a fun adventure!
Here is the website: http://www.runnerspace.com/
The race is most fun when the runners register as teams. Each team can have 5-7 members at ANY LEVEL. I believe that we have taken 2 teams in the past. We would love to take more this year...including a girls' team!
Also note: participants do not have to have been running Cross Country this season! If you know someone or there is a sibling that would also like to participate, they are welcome!
Keep in mind that drivers are needed for this opportunity and parents are encouraged to attend! We will do our best to accommodate everyone we can within a carpool but we need parents to come along as well!
Expected/estimated costs:
Race: $150 per team or $30 per individual. Therefore individual cost is $30 or less
Accommodations: $150 plus tax for a room for 4. If we are able to put 4 runners in each room, cost per runner is approximately $40. Obviously this is different if parents have a room. This is the hotel that we are planning to stay at: http://hiltongardeninn3.
Team Singlet: $30. The kids may have noticed some of the singlets that they have worn in the past. They are often much-coveted. Cole Geschwind is working on this year's design and it promises to be super-cool!
Gas Money: We may ask for a small contribution to help with gas
Food Money: Meals will be Saturday lunch on the road and dinner in Sioux Falls and Sunday breakfast at Panera and lunch on the way home.
So this is the preliminary information! Great thanks to Greg and Marianne Couser for spearheading this opportunity and to those experienced parents who are lending their expertise: Nancy Werning, Katherine Moore and Ellen McPhail.
If you are interested, DO NOT REGISTER at the NXN website! Greg will put together teams based on PR times and do the registration all together. Fill out the form below to indicate your interest!
We would like to get an idea of who is interested in order to begin planning. If this is something that you and/or any runners in your house are interested in participating in, sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1B3fTp-XNmXa0Ipq_a5ZNPOKMF9Zmx4GM4dzRN-7Zn9s/viewform
Please sign up by Friday, October 2!
If we do not get enough parent drivers, runners will be accepted in the order that they signed up!
If this is something that you would like more information about, contact Greg (greg@productivementality.com).
Runners who are planning to go as of 9/28/14: Chad and Ethan Couser, Andrew and David Werning, Spencer Moore, Kendall Pfrimmer, Haley Vold, Diana and Elizabeth Sorenson

Saturday's Events including OUR FUNDRAISER!! PLEASE SUPPORT FRIENDS OF MAYO RUNNING!
Big doings on Saturday this week!
First: Cole Geschwind has organized a volunteer opportunity and would love to have some help! On Saturday morning, there is a run being done in the memory of a Mayo Clinic nurse who died of brain cancer this past year. Cole and friends will be staffing a water stop at McQuillan softball field to support this event. The plan is to go for a run following the volunteer commitment. Please contact Cole if there are questions!
Second: Our fundraiser! Coach Andrea has arranged a Barnes and Noble fundraiser on Saturday, September 27 to benefit the Friends of Mayo Running. Each runner is encouraged to get 2 people to head on over to Barnes and Noble to spend some money in support of our team! Here are some of the details of the fundraiser:
1. Barnes and Noble members will receive DOUBLE the discount (20% instead of 10%) on purchases made on Saturday!
2. Fundraiser dollars can be earned in the cafe as well as the regular merchandise (return is a sliding scale and is dependent on the amount of sales that we earn-between 10 and 20%)
3. Nook sales earn 5%
4. Online sales during the week of 9/27-10/2 will earn 10%. Use code 11434099 at checkout.

Pasta Feed and Friday's Meet
Pasta Feed this week at Noodles South immediately after practice. We have one more pasta feed on October 1 that is available for someone to host if there is an interest! Go to http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090a48a5a622aa8-pasta2 to take a look!
Red Wing coming up this week on Friday. The meet is located at the high school and is a great course to be able to watch the runners because they loop around the same area more than once. Probably the easiest course to watch without having to move!
Bus leaves MHS at 1:50. Website indicates Friedell and Lincoln students should be ready to be picked up at 1:40 and WC students should be ready at 1:55.
Also according to the website, the races are the following: 4:00 Girls JV, 4:30 Girls Varsity, 5:00 Boys Varsity, 5:30 Boys JV. The course maps are also posted on the website if you are interested!
Looks like race results are also up-to-date on the website...check it out! www.mayospartans.org.
Please remember to get a Travel Release Form signed by the Activities Office at least a day ahead if you are planning for your student to not ride the bus home!

Sounds like Monday's practice is starting at 4:10 this week due to the coaches' commitment to teaching responsibilities (their day job...). I don't have any additional information but will update this post if I get any!
