2008 Griak Invitational Cross-Country Meet




I had the pleasure of accompanying the Simely CC team to the Griak Invitational on the University of Minnesota's Golf course. Some of the nation's best college and high school runners competed. A great experince. While we didn't win, the IGH runners were exceptional. Over seventy-five percent of our athletes ran a personal best. Way to go!

Simley Nordic Skiers had a great day. Current skiers Sidney and Zach both ran personal bests. Former Simley skier Sally competed for the U of M Gophers.
Here's a link to the results of the meet.

First Post

It's the middle of September, and I have felt the first crisp mornings while heading to school.

The Nordic ski season will begin running soon. Many of our athletes are on the cross country team working hard. It's time for the others and the coaches to start putting in some long slow runs.

More posts and information to follow. I'm thinking snow for Thanksgiving would be nice!
