It's Minnesota...weather is fickle!


Tuesday's dual against Anoka became a battle of athletes versus weather, as the temps dropped to a lovely 30+ degrees. CP distance runners, sprinters and hurdlers excelled in what had most spectators shivering. Rebels were victorious in the 1600 meters with Eleanor Magnuson grabbing the lead off of teammate Steph Sjostrom (who lead all of 1500 meters of the race). In the 800, Madison Sawyer captured first place with a seasonal best. In the boy's 800 Derrion Hill raced to a 2:12 time sprinting past 5 Anoka runners in the last 100 meters. Senior Dan Nelson finished third with his first 1600 meter race of the season.
In virtually each heat of the the 400 meters CP athletes victorious (results not available at this writing).
