Practice times this week will be 3:00 - 5:30 PM. Wednesday we will be taking a bus out to Rum River Central and may return a little after 5:30. Remember we leave for St. Cloud at 1:00 PM on Monday.

Heggies Fund Raiser Information

The Heggies fund raiser forms are due back this week by Thursday 8/30.  Please hand your forms to your captains anytime this week.  The pizza orders will be delivered to Andover High School at 4:30 PM on 9/19 and need to be picked up by every runner after practice.  Parent volunteers are needed to help split up the orders, please email Jeff McKeefry if you are available to help.  Pizza's will be frozen, so be prepared to deliver that night or keep them frozen until they are delivered.  If you are not participating in the pizza fundraiser, please make a check out to Andover CC booster Club for $50 and hand in by 8/30.  

St. Cloud Invitational Information

The meet is held at the VA Hospital, which is located across the street from Apollo HS, 1000 44th Ave. North. The course is a spectator friendly course, meaning you are able to see the runners 4 to 6 times during their race without having to run yourself. If you are willing to run a little you could see the runners ten or more times.

Bus leaves at 1:00 from Andover HS and will return after the awards ceremony.

Parent Signup Sheet

I have updated the parents sign up sheet and fixed a few dates that were incorrect. There are about 45 runners for snacks, water and Chocolate Milk.  Looking to get about 70 waters, 3 gallons of milk and see how that works out.  For snacks, anything healthy is great including Granola bars, fish crackers, rice krispy bars and kids wouldn't turn down home made treats!  There are still a few dates open, just let me know.
