Ski Camp and Today's Practice Cancelled

The first major winter storm has arrived, which is good news. Unfortunately, today's high winds are producing very cold wind chills. The school district has cancelled all after school activities.

In addition, the storm stayed entirely south of Maplelag Resort, and as a result this weekend's ski camp trip is cancelled. A full refund will be issued to those who paid.

Ski camp alternatives are available. Highland Park has approximately 10 open spots on their bus next weekend to Maplelag. Assuming Maplelag gets more snow in the next week, HP would be willing to open those spots up to Como skiers if we can provide a chaperone. Be aware that Holiday Relays is the same weekend, so that is something to think about.

The Dec. 27-29 trip to Rainbow Resort, which we do along with the Central team, is still a go. More info will be available on that soon. I believe the cost will be in the $120 range.

New schedule for the rest of the week:

Thu: 2:30 Bus to Como Golf Course. Practice until 4:15. Back to school at 4:30.

Fri: Meet at Trollhaugen with Conference schools. Bus leaves at 2:20, returns at 6:30 or 7:00.

Sat: Practice 9:00 a.m. at Como Golf Course. Come to school at 8:30 if you need to get your skis, etc.

Alumni Run 2009

What: 2009 Como Park Cross Country Alumni Run
Distance: 2 miles
Date: Wed, August 19
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Where: Como Park cross country course (Lexington and Horton)

Dear Como Park Alums and Affiliates:

Please join us for the 2009 Como Park Cross Country Alumni Run. This year’s installment of the run will be held on Wednesday, August 19th, at 6:00 p.m. The Como Park cross country course is located at the junction of Lexington Parkway and Horton Avenue in St. Paul. As always, the event will give the current high school team a chance to meet the alums on the course for a 2 mile run. Some compete, some run for fun, while others just watch and mingle with old teammates and friends.

Food and beverages will be available after the run. There is no cost to participate in the run, though a suggested donation of $5 will help offset the cost of the food. Please come out if you can. This is a fun social event, and the kids really enjoy seeing the alums every year.

Please spread the word!

I look forward to seeing you all on August 19.

Best,

Chris Lundstrom

Lee Runs School Record 3200

At Friday's Edina Invitational, senior Emma Lee established a new school record of 11:32.69 in the 3200M run, bettering her previous personal best by over twenty seconds.

Conditions were breezy and increasingly cool as the sun set on the Edina track. A strong field of 18 runners toed the line.

Pulled out at a blistering opening pace -- 80 seconds for 400, 2:45 for the 800 -- Lee settled into third place behind defending state 3200M Cassy Opitz of Eden Prairie and Michelle Volz of Lakeville North, whose accolades include a state championship at 1600M in 2007.

Mid-way through the race, Lee moved into second in order to maintain her tempo, gapping Volz. She held the runner-up position through the finish. The record marks Lee's second school record at Como Park, the other being in cross country.

Full results are available HERE. (Click on "TrackEdinaInviteOverallResults.pdf")

Next up for the Cougars is the St. Paul City Conference Relays Meet, which will be held at St. Paul Central on Thursday, May 7.

Como Park Nordic 08-09 Season Summary

The Como Park Nordic 08-09 season has come and gone. We're left with lots of memories, great friends, a high level of fitness, and a few random gobs of kick wax. I (Coach Chris) have shaved my beard and cleaned the klister from my jacket pockets, and would like to offer a big thank you to everyone who was involved with the team this year.

Highlights of the season are too many to name, but I thought I would list a few:

Holiday Relays: Girls take the lead early, and hold on for a strong finish

Ski camp @ Rainbow Resort

Sophomore boys' epic waxing session before the Giant's Ridge meet

Mora Vasaloppet Relay Team: 2nd overall

Emma Lee: 3rd in Conference (1st S.P. City), 5th in Section, 1st Woman in Mora Vasaloppet 13k, 36th at State Meet, 1st Como Park skier to be ranked in state

Luke Rustad: All-Conference, 10th at Section, 108th at State Meet

Girls team: 2nd at Conference (1st S.P. City), 3rd in Section

End of Season Banquet: 75 attendees, best videos and slideshows, and a great time with friends.

A special thank you goes out to our senior captains Luke Rustad, Alyce Eaton, Phil Kramer, and Emma Lee. Here's what they had to say about the season:

Luke:


"What a year to be a senior. Watching people grow, both in skiing talent and in maturity was really something to see. There is so much potential on both the guys and the girls side for the future. No matter how you do, remember that the team is so much more important than how you do. The fun I had as a part of this team will never be forgotten. It's a ski story, a wonderful ski story."

Emma:

"This season was absolutely incredible. I knew that things were going to be awesome when I first strapped on my skis back in November, and the experience went uphill from there. At every race and every practice, I could feel myself getting better and see everyone around me improving too. It's hard to believe how far we've all come in such a short time. If someone had told me two years ago that I was going to go to state, I would have laughed at them. Skiing taught me to believe in myself and dramatically increased how hard I'm willing to push myself to accomplish my goals. I am so proud of all of the people who came to practice every day and worked hard to improve-- they are the ones who will carry the team in the years to come. Although I'm sad that this was my last season with Como, I am excited to see the direction that the team is going. The competition to be on varsity and the pressure to continue this year's success will take the team to levels unprecedented in Como Nordic history. Skiing is the best thing that ever happened to me; I'll keep the team motto with me forever. No regrets!"


Phil:

"This season we had a very young team which can be a good thing or a bad thing. This year has definitely been a good year, its been a great year. First time sending 2 skiers to the state meet. Girls winning the city conference, taking 3rd at sections, the guys improving over last year and the improvements were a number of spots in both conference and sections. We continued to have a very high team GPA as well. There isn't one thing that can be said that lead to all this success but a number of things did. Great coaching staff, excellent leadership, commitment from the skis both young and old. If these continue, which I don't see why they wouldn't, we can expect to continue to see success. The sky's the limit"

Alyce:

"This was an amazing season - people were so determined but also managed to have fun. I really enjoyed watching everyone learn how to ski; you guys all have so much potential. Hard work is what is going to determine who skis varsity in the next couple of years, but I know that the team is going great places. There are so many things that I will miss - the camaraderie, the good exercise, the peaceful mind that comes while skiing, the dinners, the karaoke, the good times, the massages, the coaches, the whole team. Even when we had to wake up at six a.m. or do a final wax at eleven p.m., even when I was exhausted or stressed or had to sacrifice other things, this season was always, always worth it. Thank you so much to everyone, and don't forget - NO REGRETS."

Lee, Rustad Compete at State


Emma Lee and Luke Rustad competed at the Minnesota State Nordic ski meet on Saturday, representing Como Park in fine fashion.

Lee took 36th in the pursuit, besting all of her conference rivals, and improving greatly on last year's 63rd place finish. After the classic race, Lee was in 52nd place. She maneuvered through an extremely crowded field into the top 40.

Rustad took 108th place. He was hampered by a fall in the classic race, but competed well in an extremely tough field. Both Rustad and Lee's parents were on hand to see their children compete on the highest stage in Minnesota High School sports. Congrats to both Luke and Emma!


A little history...


Two years ago, Andy Brown was the first Como Park athlete to compete at the State Nordic Ski Meet. Last year, Emma Lee was the first Como Park girl to compete. This year, we had multiple athletes qualify for the first time ever. With a strong group of junior and sophomore girls returning from a 3rd place section team, and a developing group of sophomore and freshman boys, the Como Park Nordic team looks for these trends to continue.



Check out the GIRLS RESULTS and BOYS RESULTS.

Monday Practice

For practice on Monday, January 26, junior varsity skiers should report to Mr. Leonard's room after school if they need to wax their skis. JV Conference is on Tuesday. It is a skate meet, and we need everyone to get their skis nice and fast for a good race at Wirth Park!

Varsity skiers and those who wax at home will take a bus to Battle Creek Park for practice.

Conference meet varsity skiers: Bring classic equipment!

JV skiers who wish to come to Battle Creek may do so, and can skate ski if they prefer.

Girls 2nd, Boys 6th at Conference Meet

The Como Park Nordic Ski team had excellent performances at Friday's Twin Cities Nordic Ski Conference Meet, held at Baker Park.

In a ten team field, the Como Park girls captured second place, just one point ahead of a very strong Irondale team. The girls, who placed sixth last year, worked hard all season and showed huge improvements from last year's conference finish.

Emma Lee captured second place overall, posting the fastest skate time of the day. Mara Chin-Purcell stepped up her game to garner all-conference honors. Leah Roth overcame a broken pole strap to take an all-conference honorable mention slot. Sophomore Rachel Lee had a breakthrough meet, earning all-conference honorable mention as well. Jane Kramer missed honorable mention by just one place, but her consistent skiing was critical in nailing down the team's second place finish.

The boys team's sixth place finish marked a significant improvement over last year's ninth place finish. Led by Luke Rustad's all-conference performance and Phil Kramer and Jon Tetlie's honorable mention all-conference finishes, all of which were earned with especially strong skate races. The remainder of the team, composed entirely of sophomores and freshman, showed that they may be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.

Full results are available HERE.
