Cathedral/Sartell Meet

Location: Riverside Park: 1800 Kilian Blvd SE, St Cloud
Date: Thursday, Dec. 6 at 2:00
Teams: Alexandria, Apollo, Brainerd, Fergus Fall, Little Falls, Mora, St. John’s Prep, Tech, Willmar, Sartell/Cathedral

HS out of class at 12:15, bus leaves 12:30

Bussing: Middle school will ride one bus and high school will ride the other bus. Middle school students in band have a concert to get back for, so the middle school bus will leave early if need be. Right now we should be arriving back to the high school around 5:30-45. That will give band students plenty of time to get to the 7:00 concert. If the meet is running late or there is an issue, the middle school bus and coaches will leave the meet early to get back on time.

• Uniform and warms-up
• Lots of layers and extra pairs of warm clothes--Change of socks and gloves for sure! You want to be able to put on dry clothes after you race. You cannot bring too many warm clothes for this meet in particular. The wind comes off the river and makes it cold.
