Week Ahead/Mesabi Line Up and Info

This is the plan for the week of Jan 3.  

Monday we are going to be meeting at 2:30pm in the weight room and then we will head out to Bunker with the bus leaving at 3:15 for a skate ski.  We will also be waxing skis when we get back, but should not take long.

Tuesday is a skate race at Elm Creek.  Bus will leave at 2:00, Girls will be racing at 3:45, Boys at 4:20.  Teams that will be there are Park Center, Maple Grove, Champlin Park, Andover and Osseo.

Wednesday will be practice as usual, weight training for the high school skiers after school and then the bus leaving at 3:15 for a classic ski workout.

Thursday will be a regular practice, however we will be watching the temps and wind chills.  Right now it could be very cold and even pushing the cut off lines to be outside to practice.  Please be ready to workout inside as well as out.  Once we get closer a decision will be made.  

Friday will be similar to Thursday, so we will wait to see what happens with the weather before we decide what to do.

Saturday is the Mesabi Invite.  In the past we have gone up on Friday and stayed overnight at a camp south of Eveleth.  However, that camp closed down for the winter a week ago due to other groups deciding not to go over the winter, and thus it became a cost issue for them.  I did check around for reasonably priced hotels, but there was not anything available.  So, we will be going up on Saturday morning, leaving at 6:00 to make sure we give ourselves enough time to get up there.  We will also come home on Saturday evening after the races are done.  We have done in the past, and other teams do it as well.  One start lists are made official later in the week, I will send out more information.  However, below is who will be skiing for us.  Those not racing are invited to come along to ski and cheer as well though.

Boys: Varsity Classic: Josh, Ryan, Peyton; Varsity Skate: Aaron, Lachlan, Albi; JV Classic: Joey, Orion; JV Skate: Eli, Anthony.

Girls: Varsity Classic: Lilah, Megan, Elizabeth; Varsity Skate: Stella, Ruby, Anna; JV Classic: Julia, Kendall; JV Skate: Akala, Katrina.

Thanks,
