Lindbergh Cross Country

This Saturday, Sept. 10th is the Tahoma Coed Relays and the team/family potluck. This is a very fun meet and a great oppotunity for parents, coaches, and team-members to get to know one another. The meet takes place at Lake Wilderness Park in Maple Valley (go out Petrovitsky to Maple Valley highway. Go South on Maple Valley Highway. Turn right on Witte Road. Follow signs to the park).

Here is the schedule:

6:45 Team arrives at Lindbergh and loads bus
7:00 Bus leaves
7:20 Arrive at the park/unload
8:30 Open Race (this is most of our team)
9:00 Relay (Sarah, Anna, Mo, Nathan, Ben and Brenna, Thuong, Mitchell, Westerling, Eugene)
10:45ish Awards
11:15 Team and Family Potluck
12:30ish Leave park to return to Lindbergh

What to Bring to the Potluck:
Freshmen: Sweets (cookies, brownies, etc)
Sophomores: Main Dish type thing
Juniors: Drinks
Seniors: Salads/sides

Lindbergh's top team finished 2nd place today at the coed relays–our best finish ever.  This team, made up of Nate Tandecki, Sarah Reiter, Nate Reitz, Ericka Galindo, and Trevor Thompson, ran very well and was only a few seconds behind the winning team. 

We also had a great time with the team / parent potluck.  Thanks everyone for bringing stuff.  I enjoyed getting a chance to meet parents.  For the second year in a row we lucked out with the nice weather.

The length of this course is somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0 miles.  Since we don't know the exact distance, and since you run through pretty deep water for 80 meters, the times don't mean much.  The course is always a little different from year to year as well, so comparison between years is not useful.  Most of our team members were about 35 – 40 seconds faster at this course than at the class meet on Thursday.  If you were more than 40 seconds faster, then you had a much better race here than at the class meet.

The 2006 Tahoma Coed Relays were a success:  the weather cooperated, everyone had fun at the BBQ, and our team ran very well.  For the first time we had a relay team place in the top ten.  Trevor Thompson, Madeline Platt, Matt Miland, Patty Harvey, and Chris Miland placed 10th.
