Link To Meet Results

Annika's Skate Time is incorrect. Strong skate race Annika!   It looks like it is 10 mins. off.  I am contacting the timer to get an accurate time, as coaches were not given results to review at the end of the races.

Look Ahead This Week and Conference Sprint Results/ Image Binge

**JV Conference Championship is on at Mahtomedi**

The JV Conference Championship is Scheduled for Tues. Jan 27th. This is a regular after school meet.  

The Varsity Conference Championship will be held at Hyland Park in Bloomington on Friday Jan. 30th.  Hyland has snow making capabilities so we are on.  Long term forecasts suggest a fun day of skiing.  

This is a day-time meet.  All Varsity Skiers should check-in with their teachers well ahead of Friday to make sure school work is done well.



Here is a link to the Conference Sprint results.

A look at this week 1-20 through 1-23 Metro East Conference Sprints on Friday

Here's the crew who went up to Itasca last weekend.  Some chose to swim at the headwaters.

Tuesday:Fast and Furious skiing  on the pond both skate and classic if possible.

Wednesday:  Short but "sweet" practice done by 3:45. (Anderson and Sedler to teacher conferences.)  High school skiers have the option of not coming to practice to ski on their own.  Make sure you communicate with your parents.

Thursday: Same as Wed.  Again high school skiers may miss practice to ski on their own.  Make sure you communicate with your parents.

Friday: Conference Sprints at Lake Elmo.  We will be dismissed from school at noon.  Talk to your teachers and get school work done early if possible. ( Meet info. below)

Meets This Week

The bus to Biwabik

We are in the fast and furious part of the ski season.  Our trip to Biwabik was a blast.  Several happy, tired skiers at the end of the race, just the way we like them.

Today 1-13 we are doing an informal classic race on Rogers Lake with STA, Hastings and Tartan.

Tomorrow 1-14 JV skiers will be at Richfield in the park just south of their campus for a JV skate race.

Thursday 1-14 we will be at Lake Elmo Park Reserve for ah whole conference + a couple of other teams classic race.

Friday, although not an official Simley Nordic outing, some other parents and I are heading North to ski and or snowshoe in the Park Rapids Area.

Grade 7, 8 & 9 Races

Our younger skiers will have a chance to race against grade level peers tomorrow in a skate race at Rogers Lake behind St. Thomas Academy.    We will start as soon as possible after 3:30pm.  Girls are scheduled to go out first.  Forecast temperatures are still supposed to be cold with wind being a factor on the exposed lake surface.  Please check that skiers have wind breaking outerwear along with adequate hat, mittens and face-mask.

.

Jan. 6th Skate Race @ Sibley Results.

Good effort by Simley skiers today.  All of our boys were in the top 50% of the finishers.  Sam and Lea were in the top 30% for girls.  Caroline, Annika and Amanda skied tough in the middle of the pack.  Cheers to Hannah and Kiri for stepping up into the varsity ranks for this race.

Loads of heart and no frostbite make for a good outing on a cold day.  Next race is for 7th, 8th and 9th graders at St. Thomas on Thursday.
