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.

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).
