Dec. 18th Skate Meet @ Mahtomedi

Mahtomedi's coach wrote, "We'll plan for a 3:30pm start or as soon as everyone is there. Boys first then girls, followed by a JV event."

Mahtomedi is located NE of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The street address is: 8000 75th St. North, Mahtomedi, MN 55115. If you click on the map it will get a bit larger.


The ski course starts just north of the tennis courts. At least it did last year. Here is a link showing where the race will start.

Winter Safey

As dangerous cold is on us, parents please help make sure your athlete is prepared to be outside in very cold weather.

The chart above shows the Minnesota State High school League criteria for competing in the cold. The print on the right states any event lasting more than one minute should be canceled or postponed at -4 degrees Fahrenheit. No specific low end wind chill is listed for ambient temperatures above -4 F. However, all activities must stop for an ambient temperature below -20 F. We will not practice or compete outside below -20 F ambient or wind chill temperature.

According to the MSHL chart exposed skin can freeze in 1 minute at -15 degrees F or colder wind chill. Thus, we will always try to error on the side of caution with cold temperatures.

The chart below is from the National weather service. It is easier to read for specific temperatures.
