Notes on “Changes” from past years…
1) We are going to pivot to try a new event to replace St. Olaf…as a staff and teachers it is tough to miss a day of school during the first week of school AND the “new to us” Orono meet is in the evening, is 5k length and it should be cooler in temp
2) Buffalo did change their date for 2025 and it landed on New Prague Invite…we will be continuing with New Prague
3) “Griak Week”…this HUGE UofM event puts a huge “wrench” into the MN XC schedule, so we are going to experiment and split team JV & Var events during this week of the season.
