May 19 @ Tartan High School the Location for the MS Girls' Conference race.


The girls' season is winding down. Practice today included some silly team building activities and some freeze pops. We're off for our DQ run tomorrow, and have our conference meet on Wed.

Let's work together to make sure the athletes are dressed for the weather. It looks like sun-screen will me needed more than rain gear, but keep an eye on the forecast.

May 13th Conference Meet @ Mahtomedi




This year our Boys' Conference Meet conflicts with the Middle School's Band and Choir Concert. We understand that this concert is an important part of students' academics, and do want the boys to make great music back at school.

With this said, we are still doing our best to field a competitive team for our track meet. It would be great if some boys could attend part of the meet before the concert. We also ask that any boy not performing at the concert step-up and help the team out until the end of the meet.

The weather looks cool and rainy. Please double check that your athlete has proper clothing to be outside in the weather. A rain poncho or other rain gear would be very helpful. We want warm, comfortable kids.

The Weather make-up day is May 17th, but we have historically run this meet despite cool temperatures and rain.

Directions from the South:
Take 35W or 35E North to Hwy 36 East to Hilton Trail North. Take a left on Hilton to 75th. Take a right on 75th and the school will be on your left.

Just Added, May 10th Meet at Mahtomedi with a 4:15 start time

Thanks to Pam Klinkhammer at Mahtomedi and Mr. O'Donnell, we are able to get one more meet in before the conference championships. Mahtomedi's coaches will be running the meet, and will be short meet workers. We would love to have any parent volunteers assist with events. Please let coaches know if you can help.

We realize this is a new and late addition to the schedule, thus we understand if students have prior commitments.

May 6th @ North High School with Mahtomedi, So. St. Paul and John Glen.

We're in the middle of another week of good practices, and looking forward to our meet on Thursday.

!Important! Reminder about Middle School Track Team Meets from our team rules sheet. We had two problems we are looking to solve from our last away meet. First, we needed to put a 6th grader in the 8th grade mile relay after an 8th grader hurt her ankle high jumping. Too many 8th graders left before the end of the meet, so we were short of athletes. More importantly two athletes left without checking-out with a coach. We take our responsibilities with your children seriously, and worry when we don't know where kids are. Both missing kids were with their parents. Please keep coaches informed.

Our rules contract states the following:
Meet Expectations. All athletes need to be prepared for their events. If you sign up for certain events you are responsible for participating in those specific events and reporting to them on time! You are encouraged to cheer on all other athletes from Inver Grove Heights during the entire meet. You are expected to stay for the entire meet (even after your events) and strongly recommended to ride the bus home with the teammates. If for some reason you need to leave the meet early, you must have a parent come and sign you out with a coach. You are NOT allowed to leave with anyone but your own parents.
