The growth throughout this season and the potential moving forward are something we haven't experienced in a number of years, and it is exciting as a coaching staff to see what is ahead.</p><p>The four of us as coaches are making plans for the summer to give those that are looking for opportunities to improve. There are some things that we will need to finalize, but we know that our Tuesday and Thursday practices will still be a part of our plans, but we will also be adding a few dates of long and challenging double pole workouts and a couple of pole hikes on a few Saturdays. </p><p> With that, after 21 years of being the head coach, I have decided to step back from my position as the head coach and hand the team over to Coaches Abby and Jerlie. It was not an easy decision for me, but one I needed to do. As mentioned, all four of us are going to be together still, but family comes first with me in my programs, and I am needing to take a step back from all the work I do so I can focus on my family and the growth of our daughter, and possibly future children. I will still be at practices and meets and I will still do everything I can to help the skiers and their improvements!</p><p>Thank you to all of those that have come through our program since I started and to all of those that have helped this program be a strong one than when I started. Thank you very much, and I will forever be a Cardinal!<br /></p><p>Denny</p>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-28434277723440065382022-02-27T10:25:00.002-08:002022-02-27T10:25:42.184-08:00Unifrom Turn InOn Monday, Feb 28, we are going to ask the skiers to turn in their uniforms and race bibs after school. The skiers will also need to clean out their lockers and turn in their locks as well. With the Girls, if they are intending to be in Track and Field this year, then they do not have to turn in their locks.<div><br /></div><div>Also, we are going to get together after we turn in uniforms, bibs, and lockers, and discuss a few items as a team, mainly what we felt we did well, what we need to work on, and how things may look for summer practices this year. I would expect for us to be done around 3:45.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks,<br />Denny</div>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-9726078834003330872022-02-25T06:26:00.003-08:002022-02-25T06:26:42.289-08:00Let It Snow ProposalBelow is a link to Coach Nelson's "Let It Snow" proposal.

Aaron was able to have one of his strongest classic races followed up with a day of moving up from 41st to 32nd out of 112 skiers with the 22nd fastest skate on the day for the Boys. Aaron moved up from an 83rd overall placing last year to being just 20 seconds out of an All State position!! Lilah started State with a solid 50th place finish in the Classic race, maybe not quite what she would have liked, but she was able to finish off her high school ski career with her best skate race ever, moving from that 50th place up to 43rd out of 111 skiers with the 34th fastest skate race on the day among the Girls, moving up from 75th overall place last year!<div><br /></div><div>It was a great way to warm up the day to have the hard work that both skiers have put in throughout the year come through in their last races! They both fought to the end and moved up and there is not much more that we as coaches could ask for from either of these two! It will be fun to see what Aaron will be able to do next year, but it will be a big loss to have Lilah moving on as she graduates. It is the time to start thinking about what we were able to accomplish this year and start to figure out where we all want to be in one year. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for a great end of the season!!<br />Denny</div>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-26944190663070176122022-02-15T17:26:00.000-08:002022-02-15T17:26:10.035-08:00State MeetDue to the weather on Thursday, there has already been a change in the time schedule to ensure that temperatures are safe for the racers.

There are still a few things to do, so here is the schedule for this week:</p><p>Monday - Pastry Relay's at Greenhaven Golf Course in Anoka, off of Hwy 10. Bus will leave at 3:15 and the first group to go out will be around 4:00. This is a fun event for our team with Anoka, Blaine and Champlin Park. The skiers will be in teams of 2-4 members and will be in costume and have a fun little relay race. We will then have donuts for them when it is all said and done.</p><p>Tuesday - Last day of practice, bus leaves at 3:15 for Bunker. </p><p>Wednesday - State Meet. Lilah and Aaron, plus those they have invited, and us as coaches will be leaving at 8:00am for Giants Ridge. Aaron will be skiing Classic at 2:00 and Lilah at 3:00. Once I find out if there is any live feeds I will send that info out, as well as where to find live results.</p><p>Thursday - State Meet. Aaron will be in the Skate Pursuit starting at 2:00 and Lilah will start her Skate Pursuit at 3:00.</p><p>Couple of other items of note. We have not decided on when to turn in equipment, mainly because there is still skiable snow as well as citizen races for the skiers to do, if they so chose. We will let everyone know before the end of the week, however, when we will have equipment turn in.</p><p>Lastly, the end of season banquet will be on Thursday, March 3rd at Greenhaven Golf Course. We are finalizing all of the details and will be getting that info out to everyone soon.</p><p>Thanks for a great season and we will do what we can to finish it off this week on a high note at the State Meet. Best of luck to Aaron and Lilah!!<br />Denny</p>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-14453774292493394022022-02-12T15:37:00.001-08:002022-02-12T15:37:19.680-08:00Lakeville ResultsOverall and Individual results from this mornings Lakeville JV/Jr High Race are now posted on the right side of the blog. With the Overall results you will need to toggle through which grade results you would like to go thorugh.<div><br /></div><div>Cold temps and a bright sun turned the last timed race for most of the skiers into a fun day with many medals and many smiles. It is always a fun way to end for our younger and newer skiers, giving them a chance to ski against other skiers that are in the same grade as them. It's also fun because our skiers get to compete against teams that they don't see all season and most don't realize that we are competing against some of the big teams in the state that have sent many teams and individuals to the State Meet over the years, and they are fighting it out and often times beating them! It shows the effort that this team has put in this year and how much they have improved. We have a long ways to go to get to a point that everyone will feel satisfied, but sure will be fun to see them continue on their journeys and see where they want to end up!</div><div><br /></div><div>Congrats to all of our JV/Jr High skiers that raced today. We ended up having 11 skiers earn medals by finishing in the top ten in their grade, including Stella who won the Girls 8th grade and was the 2nd fastest overall Girl skier, and Lachlan who won the Boys 9th grade. 2nd place finishes went to Albi in the 9th grade Boys and Ruby in the 6/7th grade Girls!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks to all of the parents and fans that braved the single digit temps and for all of those that have posted pictures!! It's a great way to remember the day, one that was bright and shows the bright future that many may have skiing!!<br /><br />Denny</div>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-82500781281357629322022-02-11T09:10:00.000-08:002022-02-11T09:10:27.719-08:00Lakeville JV/Jr High<p>Below is information for Saturday's Lakeville JV/Jr High Meet at Kenwood Trail Middle School.

But what was the biggest thing we saw as coaches is the fight to the end and the fact that both teams moved up from their positions in the Skate races after the Classic races in the morning! It showed the work they have put in throughout the season and the heart that they have and how much they want to improve, not only as individuals but as a team as well! </p><p>Thanks to all of the parents and family friends that came out to support the skiers and a big thank you to the JV skiers that came out to help and support their teammates as well! It definitely helped keep the energy positive, both on the course and at camp!</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Denny</p>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-91562185579682830132022-02-08T17:37:00.001-08:002022-02-08T17:37:30.868-08:00Section Start ListsHere are links to the start lists for tomorrow's Classic Individual Start for the Section 5 Meet.

Please make sure you go through all of the information if you are intending to be at the races.<br />Thanks,<br />Denny</p><p>Monday - Classic or Skate at Bunker Dog Park<br />Tuesday - Skate at Bunker Campground<br />Wednesday - Section 5 Meet at Theo Wirth, Bus Leaves at 7:30, First race at 10:00 (schedule below)<br />Thursday - Team Voting, School Survey, classic ski in the pit<br />Friday - Skate at Bunker Campground<br />Saturday - Lakeville Jr High/JV, Bus Leaves at 7:30 (more details later in the week)</p><p>For the Section 5 Meet at Theo Wirth, here is the schedule, who will be skiing in which events as well as the basic information for the day. One thing that will be important to note and remember is that teams will not be able to camp inside of the Trailhead or the Main Chalet and that buses will need to park off site, which means our tents are going to be where the kids will be. They can go into the Trailhead, they just cannot camp inside. To go with that, there will be no crock pots allowed inside of the building.</p><p>Another part that we touched on last week at the Conference Meet and that we want to reemphasize for the Section Meet is to make sure parents and spectators are giving the skiers the room that they need, both before and after their races, especially if they are in multiple races. We want to make sure they are preparing the way they need but also to be able to decompress after they are done and get ready for their next race if they have another one. We know pictures are a fun way to remember the day, but please give them their space.</p><p>Here are those that will be skiing in the Pursuit races: Boys - Aaron, Josh, Ryan, Peyton and Eli; Girls - Lilah, Stella, Ruby, Elizabeth, and Anna.<br />Those that will be in the 2 person Sprint Relay: Boys - Abli and Lachlan; Girls - Ava and Megan</p><p>Alternates will be cleared to go if they are able to and JV skiers are able to go along to help and support, however, a parent will need to call into school to have them excused for the day</p><p>The time schedule is as follows:<br /></p><div style="border: none; text-align: left;"><b>SECTION 5</b> Race schedule<br />Theodore Wirth Park<br />10:00 Boys 5km classic<br />10:30 Girls 5km classic<br />11:15 Boys Sprint Relay Heat 1<br />11:40 Boys Sprint Relay Heat 2<br />12:05 Girls Sprint Relay Heat 1<br />12:30 Girls Sprint Relay Heat 2<br /> Break<br />1:15 Boys Sprint Relay Final<br />1:45 Girls Sprint Relay Final<br />2:15 Boys 5km pursuit (skate)<br />3:00 Girls 5km pursuit (skate)<br />4:00+ Awards</div><div style="border: none; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="border: none; text-align: left;">Here is a link to some more information that is always helpful to know:</div><div style="border: none; text-align: left;"><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nN73fuiFrmeEcRx8yfTZJq7pcufuawFd/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111658290248301905448&rtpof=true&sd=true" target="_blank">Meet Reminders</a><br /></div><div style="border: none; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="border: none; text-align: left;">Trails used for the courses </div><div style="border: none; text-align: left;">5K Classic and 5K Skate: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J7k7ZJkmCsbMTsMWqKojskk5nC_gbxxx/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Map</a> (Please note that this map is missing the North Finger Loop, but it is a part of the course.</div><div class="yiv4316271496" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Stadium to Green Meadow-skip the inner loop-will be blocked--Twin Lakes back to Green Meadow, up Ridgeline—,<b class="yiv4316271496"> North Finger</b>—back up to LaSquadra-up to Ridgeline and back to the stadium.</div><div class="yiv4316271496" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;">Skate Sprint Relay: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_ZfJ6Gh8jzFj9HIj-ppI2uDNEC4E82Q-/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Map</a></span></div><div class="yiv4316271496" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Stadium to round about, up and down Ridgeline and back to the stadium</div><div class="yiv4316271496" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div style="border: none; text-align: left;">Information for ONLY the Classic races: <b class="yiv6082281574" style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><u class="yiv6082281574">Classic Technique zone</u></b><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-size: 13px;">—has been talked about for a number of years and will be implemented this year.</span></div><div class="yiv6082281574" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">At Wirth I will use a section of the Ridgeline between the round about and coaches corner.</div><div class="yiv6082281574" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The technique zone is for CLASSIC only and the skier must use diagonal stride or herringbone.

We are still waiting on the Overall results, and once I get those I will post them.<div><br /></div><div>Another cold and windy afternoon for those racing, but our skiers put out a solid effort, with everyone working to the best of their abilities. It is always fun to watch the JV skiers at this time of year, to see how much they have improved but also to see what they are wanting to get out of their current skiing abilities. To see them race faster, smarter, or with better technique and to not be completely satisfied with their performance and wanting more is such a positive. It's nice to know that everyone still has at least one more race and to see if those that raced today take the steps to improve in the next week and a half. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks to the parents and spectators that came out and endured the cold weather!!<br />Denny</div>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-22469193026083339082022-01-31T17:58:00.000-08:002022-01-31T17:58:05.015-08:00Conference ResultsCongratulations to the following skiers for earning All Conference today in the Pursuit event, Aaron Casey, Josh Thoen, Ryan Powley, Lilah Gilyard and Stella Bone.

Both teams improved on their places from their places from throughout the season as well as from a year ago, as the Boy's finished in a solid 3rd place out of 12 teams and the Girls a much improved 6th place with almost completely new team from a year ago.<div><br /></div><div>This was a great day to watch and enjoy but it is also a great day to build off of, not only for this year but for the years to come. Thanks to all of those that were able to come out and watch and also a big thank you to JV skiers that came with and helped and cheered on the team. It was a great vibe and I feel it was a big help in how we did, as well as good for them to see what this experience is like.</div><div><br />Thanks,</div><div>Denny </div></div>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-2100636839852582782022-01-30T15:00:00.000-08:002022-01-30T15:00:04.114-08:00Conference WeekHere is some information for the week of Jan 31.

Allow the skiers the time to get ready and then decompress after their races:</div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S4wb3iUaTwrZWyfeFIduZ4wFUtEfByTn/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Sprint Course</a><br /></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VRJ4NJc8rynUHOmplaOrvC4LMiqQlz6-/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Pursuit Course</a><br /></div><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AH2kU3-TRon-OK7d8Grh7OvZMVgK5kOQ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Stadium Area/Set Up</a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>General Notes: </div><div>Classic Race </div><div>* We will be issuing chips when athletes enter the stadium and will collect at the finish

It is also helpful if a parent/spectator watches them as well to have a better understanding of how the starts in the Classic race and the sprint relays will work. For the Freestyle pursuit race, skiers will be sent out in the place they finished the Classic race in, in the amount of time behind the leader they finished.</div><div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">How to start a race with a wand: <a href="https://youtu.be/gP29Oi9nwcU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/gP29Oi9nwcU</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">How to start the Team Sprint: <a href="https://youtu.be/MTwPa0nkegA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/MTwPa0nkegA</a></div></div></div></div></div>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241344458767241428.post-15053484424488693252022-01-27T19:59:00.002-08:002022-01-27T19:59:39.850-08:00Thursday Meet ResultsMeet results from today's meet at Elm Creek are now posted on the right side of the blog.<div><br /></div><div>Today was a solid day and a day that showed a lot of improvement by the whole team. The energy level with everyone seemed to be higher and more determined. It's a great thing to see, especially at this time of the season. We know that with our youth that there is still a lot that can be improved and that we need to work on, but to see what these skiers are currently doing and how much fun they seem to be having is a positive and something to really look forward to, not only for the rest of this season but for seasons to come.</div><div><br /></div><div>Aaron and Lilah led the way for both teams with 2nd place finishes, as the Boy's took 2nd out of 6 and the Girl's took 3rd. With the Boy's Ryan, 4th, and Josh, 7th, were able to finish in the top 10. On the Girls side, Stella finished in a solid 18th place for an 8th grader to also help the Girl's.</div><div><br /></div><div>Next up is the Northwest Suburban Conference Meet on Monday at Hyland Park. I will be putting all of the info out on Friday. For those that do not race Monday, they will be racing on Wednesday at Elm Creek in which they will get to chose what they would like to ski, skate or classic.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks,<br />Denny</div>Coach Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10435496137797602306noreply@blogger.com0
