End of Season Celebrations

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Monday November 29th at 6:00 in the Commons at RHS is the end of season pizza party. I've attached the invitation to remind you of what to bring.
Also remember that the following Tuesday Nov. 30th is the Fall Sports Awards Banquet held in the Auditorium at RHS at 7:00.

End of Season Celebrations

After spending the weekend at the state meet in Pasco, I'm inspired to coordinate our end of season gatherings. I previously sent out the dates but there has been a change in the fall sports award banquet that the school organizes due to complaints of it being so close to the Thanksgiving holiday.
1. Fall sports award -It has been moved back a week to Tuesday November 30th 7:00.
2. Our XC pizza party is scheduled for the day before on Monday November 29th at 6:00 in the RHS commons. Pizza is provided by the ASB on the 29th. RSVP to me how many in your family will come so I can try and order the correct amount. Thanks Penny Swanson

District meet results

Saturday was the district meet on Whidbey Island. Sadly, the team will not advance to the State Championships taking 9th place out of 16 teams. The team actually has much to be proud of. Looking at the winning 5 top runners score, none of them PR'd on this course and most of them had times 30-40 seconds off the Kingco championship times. Our team had multiple members that times were only 10-20 seconds longer than Kingco so it seems to me many ran a great race, although I'm not sure this is how the kids felt yesterday. Just making it to the district meet is a major accomplishment. The XC MOB has so much heart and much to be proud of.

Kingco championship and Bi-district meet information

Here is a little information on how the next few weeks work:

Kingco championships start at 2:00 at Lincoln park. The top 8 teams and top 40 finishers will advance to the bi-district meet.
