Swain Invitational Results, 2008

The infamous hill at Swain is now the infamous "hills", as the 2008 edition of the Swain Invitational unveiled a new course, with plenty of ups and downs.
Girls' Recap:Congrats to Stephanie Sjostrom and Cassidy Soli for their impressive victories this past weekend at the Swain Invitational. Both Steph & Cassidy set course records for their respective performances in the AA Girls' Varsity and Sophomore Girls' races. Overall the girls' team earned a 7th place finish in the Varsity race and 3rd place team finish in the Sophomore Girls' race. Katie Batters finished 19th as our #2 runner, Mari Schlitter 54th, Amanda Dvorak 65th and Carin Crego 98th place finishes for our #3-5 runners. Sophomore Jenna McElroy made a strong comeback after laying low for 10 days as our #2 runner in the Sophomore Race. Emily Huemann showed that she's ready to crack the team top 10 with her 26th place individual finish as our #3 runner.
Boys' Recap: Kyle Richards finished 5th behind 4th ranked Robel Kebede of Mpls South to lead the Rebels to a 17th place team finish. Not bad considering that we were without the services of #3 runner JP Rose and #5 Aaron Hauck. Captain Caleb Pheneger ran to a Swain "PR" with a 45th place finish followed by Kyle Rodeback in 73rd, Dillon Novak in 116th and a remarkable finish by our #5 Chris Oleson who hit the turf twice during the race. In the Sophomore Boys' 4K, the Rebels finished 12th of 20+ teams. Leading the way were Jay Alexander in 24th, Joe Zwolski in 57th and Nick Brady in 62nd.

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.

Summer Cross Country Training

Summer running is the key to success, not only for you individually but for the team as a whole. The idea is to build on the foundation you've established already, be it from spring track, lacrosse or softball. You as runners will see improvement, whether it's comparing where you where last year, or just last week.
Simple ideas to make it a good summer of running...
1. Make sure you have a new pair of running shoes. Seek out Wendi at GearWest for a fitting if you haven't done so already.
2. Be hydrated. See the article in a prior posting.
3. Fuel the engine. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and pasta. See article in prior posting.
4. Sleep...yes sleep. Yes, it's summer but like most high schoolers you'll still need that 8 to 10 hours of sleep .
5. Running with friends and teammates. Check out our summer running schedule. The captains have got it covered Monday thru Friday. It's always more fun in a group.
6. Set a Goal. Make State, All-Conference, the top 7, the Griak, improve your times on the same courses as last year. Think about these as just a sample, write down your own personal goals and tape them to a spot in your room.
Get in the habit now...you have three more weeks before the season starts...Make it a Good One!

It's U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials Time !!!

OK all you youngsters, it's time to get psyched, it's time for the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials. All Track, All the Time! Check out NBC Sports.com for their most up to date info, stories and video clips. Favorite of the weekend, find the link that says "Trials Hub". There are some entertaining video clips from "Mr. Track Town"...a spin-off on what Eugene, Oregon is calling itself. Tonight it gets started with the women's 10K. We've got Katie McGregor and Alex Gits from the Great State of Minnesota running for an Olympic Team spot. Enjoy! Coach M. NBC Sports: HERE

Fridays = Fun

Hey. Tomorrow [Friday 06.20] if you haven't come to any summer runs yet, you should come tomorrow. :D We are still meeting at the ice forum/lifetime fitness. We will run first and then play football and/or ultimate frisbee at a park nearby after the run. :D so everyone should come. Caleb is bringing the ball and the frisbee, and it will be super fun.
See you all there. :]

Thursday Practice Site Update

Jerry Ruppelius Park, intersection of 109th Ave. N and Elm Creek blvd ...will be the new meeting place for Thursday Summer Captains Practices. Thanks for the heads up from our on the ball captains !

jerry park.

today at practice it was decided that we will have people park at jerry park.
:]

thursdays

YEA. cuz they are doing construction on that goose lake part of the road where people used to park before. so...its all dirt and there are big construction machines in the way..and a sign in the way too. so yea. no place to park...at the 109th round a bout place. so either.
1. new place for thursdays for the time being.
or
2. park far away.
???

Thursday Summer Practices

Steph and I were talking about the upcoming summer practices and she was wondering about where people would park when we meet at the end of 109th. Some of us will be biking but I think the road is blocked off a bit so you won't be able to park at the end of the road like last year. What you could do though is park at the Jerry Repelius parking lot and then just walk down to the round-about. I just thought I'd let people know before they get there! See you all soon!

Summer CC Practice Schedules Set

Cross Country Captains Practices are now set. Captains: Mari Schlitter, Caleb Pheneger, Steph Sjostrom and Kelly Tasky have set aside the following times and locations for your summer running.

Today's True Team Invitational hosted at Park Cottage Grove was canceled do to rain! Note: The meet will not be rescheduled.

Park Center & Centennial Co-ed April 22nd

Our first true April day for the PC & Centennial Triangular
The boys' lost a very close overalll victory by the slimmest of margins to the Centennial team, less than 1 point separated the final score between the teams.

Event winners were: Brown Davis in the 100 meters, Kyle Richards, 1600 meters, Randy Khieu, high jump & long jump, Josh Owens, pole vault, and AJ Milostan with wins in the shot & discus.

Varsity girls' held out for the True Team Invitational
With the varsity girls' held out for the invite, later in the week, the girls' portion of the meet was much more like a dual than a triangular. This opened the doors for many of the up and coming athletes to compete at the varsity level for the first time. Top finishers for the girl's were;
Deborah Dickson, 3rd in the 800,. Melissa Denler, 3rd in the 100 Hurdles, Anna Broadrick's 1st in the Pole Vault, Katherine Burton, 3rd in the pole vault, Morgan Loth 3rd in the long jump and BrieAnna Stewart 3rd in the shot put.

Just a bit windy at the Elk River Triangular

Hitting the western outskirts of Elk River this past Tuesday was a little like running thru the windy plains of Oklahoma, not an easy task. With wind gusts hitting 20 to 30 mph, the Rebels took on Elk River and Coon Rapids for a NWSC Coed Triangular. With the exception of our buses arriving late at the stadium, which led to an abbreviated warm-up for the 4 x 8's, CP fared rather well.

Full Individual Results & Team Scores

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).

Rebel Relays this Saturday!

This week in Rebel Track & Field finds us competing at the UM Fieldhouse in the newly renamed Rebel Relays. The Relays meet followed Coach Moorhead over to his new home, that of coaching the CP Distance Teams for the 2008 season. Five teams will join CP in the competition, they are; Armstrong, Apple Valley, Chaska Totino Grace and Wayzata. Wayzata boys' and girls' are the defending champions from the 2007 event. The meet will begin at 12:15 with the running of the JV 1600 followed by heats of the 200 meters. The Varsity portion of the meet will begin at 1:00 with the Distance Medley and all Field Events. Not your typical track meet, all events are scored as relays. In the field events, Shot Put as an example, four throwers for each team will compete in shot put with their best throws added up for their respective team score. Over the past 14 years several Minnesota All-Time Indoor Bests have been set at the Rebel Relays.
Rebel Field Event Showcase Meet
Opening the week (Monday, March 31st), is the Field Event meet. The event will be contested at the CP Fieldhouse . The event was created to give the athletes an opportunity to test themselves in field events, with the idea that many just might find they have the athletic ability to be successful in jumping or throwing as well as on the track. The meet gets underway at 3:45.

Andover. It will be a limited event menu with it starting off with the 55 Hurdles and finishing with
multiple heats of the 4 x 400. Note to distance runners, we will be running the 1600 only!

UM ROTC Indoor this Weekend!

A sure fire way to get pumped for this years indoor and outdoor track season is to take in this weekends UM ROTC Meet. The meet starts at 9:30 and is typically a good indicator of what individuals trained during the off season. With this being Easter Weekend it should be interesting as to who actually shows up. If you're thinking of heading over to the U to catch the meet, parking
is available on 4th Street and also on University at the Alumni Parking ramp just east of the UM Fieldhouse. Note, the reason we are not competing is obvious...we're on break!
Have a safe and happy Easter Weekend!

Week #1

Well, it's finally here, the first week of practice. For all who have missed the basic details about this week, here ya go. Practice begins at 2:45, which means that you should be ready to go, hats, gloves

Spring Break Practice
With Spring Break just a few days away, athletes must inform their respective event coaches what their spring break plans are, as we will be having practice during Spring Break. Communication is the key! Athletes it is your responsibility to let your coaches know if you will be missing practice or arriving late.
