Comments on tonight's race. The girls have pleased us race after race with either improved times, or improved places. Today we feel like we ran well, but did not necessarily get blown away with any new personal records or win the meet. Our finishing order changed once more and we continue to run well as a team. We run again less then 48 hours from now so we will try to keep everyone healthy and happy to continue to be satisfied with each effort knowing it is the best we have that given night. 

Blake Lineweaver and Ryan Chindlund continue to shine for our young men while others are still finding out what they are made of. Sometimes the best thing about a long season is the fact that there is plenty of time to learn about one's self. We saw some of our guys not run the best, while others had their best meet of the year. We can only hope that everyone figures it out and peaks at the right time; which happens to be in the coming two weeks.


Spirit Lake Coach Tim Heinitz:

Well, tonight we had mixed results.  On the boys side, our varsity put together maybe their best meet of the year as a team, which is nice to finally see! Our JV boys also ran well as a team.  On the girls side, our JV girls had an awesome night winning the meet! On the varsity girls side, this was just not our night for whatever reason.  We need to put this meet behind us quickly and have short memories! Sometimes that's the way meets go.  I am confident that we can re-focus for the conference meet next week and districts in 2 weeks!
