Richard's breaks 5K School Record

AABCC/District 11 Invitational
Boys' Results
Senior Kyle Richards in the first 5K of the season, went to the top of the Rebels All-Time List with a school record setting 16:36.9. Breaking a record that has stood for 13 seasons, Kyle took charge of the race early setting a strong pace that only the #1 runners from Coon Rapids and Andover could match. Richards placed 2nd overall, and was the #1 runner for CP.

Girls' Results
Steph Sjostrom, Katie Batters and Mari Schlitter led the way for the Rebels as the teams #1, 2 and #3 runners in the first 4K of the season. Captain Mari, set an all-time "PR" in the first 4K of her senior season.

Great job to the entire team! We've had an exceptional week of running, no doubt your legs are tired. Now, as in today is the time to take care of the little things that make a good athlete great. Ice your legs (a cold soak in the tub is good also), 9 hours of sleep...YES, 9 hours of sleep, and if at all possible cut down on the week night hours at work.
