Registration Reminder!!!

Folks -

Make sure you get your Cross Country registration complete (including picking up your participation pass in the Athletics office) by Monday, August 17! There is a new late fee policy, and nobody wants to have to pay a late fee for being lazy!

All of the information you need can be found at http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/athletics/

Don't forget about checking to see if your physical is up to date!

If you have any questions about the registration process, contact Laura Stein or Terry Cords in the Athletics office:

Terry Cords: tercords@edina.k12.mn.us or 952.848.3817

Crawfort-Tufts Breaks 26 year-old 100M School Record

I realize this isn't Cross Country or distance running news, but exciting nevertheless! Sophomore Devin Crawford-Tufts ran 10.9 in his first 100M race of the year to break the 26 school record previously held by Brad McCalla. Later in the 200M dash, he ran 22.5, good enough to be #10 on the Edina All-Time list, and the fastest time by a Hornet in 16 years.
