Girls are HVL CHAMPIONS!! 

What a night it was in ZM on Tuesday!  Some have asked when the last time is that we've won so I called Mr. G. (former head coach, 42 years) and he said go check the trophy case!  I haven't had time to do that yet, but suffice it to say, it's been a while, if at all. Props to our female athletes for all their hard work paying off at just the right time and in quite dramatic fashion.  I dissected the results and with a one point win over second place tie between Lake City and ZMKW, the breakdown shows that runner by runner we were tied after the first 2 runners with ZMKW then in 2nd for runners 3 and 4 and finally went ahead by one point on our fifth runner (Autumn Feine) by .3 seconds for the victory!  To each runner, way to stay the course to the finish! That is truly teamwork to the end!  The results are here and in the page to the right.

CONGRATULATIONS to HVL All-Conference honorees Chrissy Lofgren, Kailee Malone, and Isaiah Scruggs who placed 4th in the boys race in a PB time of 17:18, dropping 9 seconds!  Way to go Isaiah! 

Other PB performances included Jon Beach -10, Kayla Schlechtinger, -3; Maddie Rediske, -11. 

Coming up next week, Thursday, Northern Hills Golf Course, 4 pm the Boys Section race and 4:45 Girls Section race.  Top 8 finishers and top 2 teams advance to the State meet on November 7th in Northfield.

All athletes are able to join us at the Section meet to cheer on their teammates. After the awards ceremony, the bus will take us to the Old Country Buffet for a meal.  The boosters will pick up the cost to the athletes.  If any parents would like to join us, we have the back Community Room reserved so please feel free!

I am looking to finalize a date for the banquet.  I know fall sports start right   after the state meet so things get wild quickly.  I will let you know soon!

Finally, if you have any good photos for the newspaper, please send them to Bill Schroeder at starsports@stewiestar.com.  I send pictures most weeks if I have some but they often times don't make it in.  I think if community members send them, he knows there is an interest beyond the coach, and may be more inclined to give us coverage. :D

Exciting days for the CC Tigers!  Go Team!
