Wednesday's XC Meet at South River

These are the results through 10th place of the meet today. The girls were just one point out of second place and the boys were just a couple out of third. A good effort was put forth by everyone. We performed well but can improve a lot. Keep working hard, it's going to pay off.
We traditionally have a team party at my house around this time. We'll have the party this Saturday evening from 6 PM to 9 PM. The pool and hot tub will be open, we'll have a bonfire, team captains will be announced, and now that we've had a meet we can talk more concretely about team goals. I'll provide the main course, and the athletes should bring the following: Last names beginning in A through D - bring salad, E through K - bring drinks, L through Q - bring chips/crackers and dip, R through U - bring dessert, V through Z - bring fruit salad.
I want to thank the parents who attended and supported us and especially those who brought drinks and oranges. We had an excellent start to the season today. Coach Eden (410-266-9304 home, 410-703-9456 cell).

Coaches:

Below please find the results from Wednesday's XC Meet @ South River. Several times are missing (listed as NT) as they were not provided on cards. Also missing at times were complete runners' names and school names. We were able to sift through the mess and score the meet accordingly. What you see below, however, is what was reported to the local media outlets. We are going to have a tough time legitimizing our sport as worthy of media coverage if we cannot provide the required information to the press. (Yes, I teach Journalism.) It was good seeing you all today. Next year, let's plan on starting these AA County Meets @ 4:00 p.m. Trying to get 12 schools to one location and run @ 3:30 p.m. was just too tough.

Thanks!

Hope all is well. -- PK
