Superb weather and outstanding running facilities at the University of St.Thomas in St. Paul, MN created the perfect environment for outstanding regional performances (Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota) at the USATF Junior Olympic Region VIII Championships.

See you on the track.

I can't hold practice tonight, June 28th. Doesn't sound like many will be there anyway. I will have the practices next week, Monday & Thursday.

2007 JUNIOR OLYMPIC REGION VIII MULTI-EVENT & TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS

General practice for long/short sprints.

Practice for all youth categories (sub-bantam through youth) will be held from 6:30-7:15 this Thursday evening. The focus will be a general workout for all short/long sprints. Note the time will only be 45 minutes and make sure your child brings a sport drink or water to stay hydrated, as the track will still be hot at this time of day.
