Alumni Race
The alumni race pits current students vs. prior graduates that ran for the mounds view track and cross country programs. The course is a 2 mile race consisting of two 1 mile loops around Como Park. Team scores, like all cross country meets, are based on the top-5 finishers for each team and the team with the lowest total score wins. Afterward, the boys teams play softball for additional bragging rights.
Whitewater
For athletes that have run more than 300 miles over the summer and regularly attended captains' practices, we will embark on the usual WW training trip the first week of practice. All other athletes will meet at Mounds View as usual for daily practice.
Mile Time Trials
The mile time trials are a chance for parents, siblings, and athletes to compete against their peers in a 1600m race on the track. Each level (siblings, middle school, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and parents) will compete in a separate 1600m race.
St. Olaf Showcase
We plan on taking the top 7-10 runners to St. Olaf for a combined varsity/JV 5k meet on the state meet course. The remainder of the team will run at Rosemount the following day.
9:45 am - Girls Varsity 5000m
10:30 am - Boys Varsity 5000m. There will be ~40 teams with max 15 runners per team.
Results will be posted on FastFinishResults

Parking: Parking is available in front of the high school (bottom of the course map) but there is additional parking next to the course at the Rosemount Community Center (3885 S Robert Trail, Rosemount, MN 55068) located just right of the dome on the course map.
MV Tent Location: The MVCC tent will be located alongside the finish line in between the finish straightaway and the track. There are port-a-potties adjacent to the track and additional restrooms can be found inside the Rosemount Community Center
Course Description: Every race is 2 miles long and consists of two nearly identical laps. There are chainlink fences approximately 400 meters into the race that create a funnel, so the typical strategy is to go out fairly hard for the first 400m (not sprinting, just faster than race pace) to bypass the slowdown at this funnel. There is some pavement on the initial part of the pond trail, but most of the portions with pavement have grass along one or both sides for runners wearing spikes. Short spikes are encouraged.

Mustang Invite
Schedule:
10:00 AM
Location: Chippewa Middle School
Parking: There are multiple available parking lots for this meet. The lots at Chippewa will likely be full by the start of the meet but there are parking lots across the street (at Hope Christian Church) and near the lower softball fields at Incarnation Lutheran Church.
Course Description: The course at the Mustang Invite is typically slow due to heat (zero shade on the course), long grass (not on a golf course) and several tight turns. The 5 kilometer course (gold and green races) features 3 nearly identical loops, each slightly over 1600m long. On the third lap runners will continue along the dotted line towards the finish rather than turning right towards the 3200m mark.

Course Description: The Alexandria course is 5,000m for varsity and JV athletes and 3,200m for freshmen. Freshmen do a single lap on the course whereas varsity and JV runners do two laps. Each lap includes gentle rolling hills before heading towards the woods on the back of the course. There is a steep decline (upper right corner of course map) leading to a long straightaway towards the finish. The course is a net downhill because the start location is well above the finish location. The morning races also tend to be pretty cool but the varsity races tend to be quite nice.
Teams: Alexandria, Becker, Buffalo, Chanhassen, Cretin-Derham Hall, Marshall, Monticello, Mounds View, Park Center, Red Wing, Roseville, Sartell-St. Stephen, Sioux Falls Washington, St. Cloud Cathedral, St. Cloud Tech, St. Louis Park, Stillwater, White Bear Lake, Willmar, Windom

Mounds View is in Lane #XX at the start line
The Course: The SEC course has historically been very flat. For many years it was at Falcon Ridge Golf Course in Stacy, MN, but in 2015 the course changed to the equally flat Tanners Brook Golf Course in Forest Lake. However, it tends to be soggy footing so that mitigates the speed of an otherwise fast course. The course has markers at each kilometer (1-5 km), the halfway point (2.5 km) and the 1600m and 3200m marks.
Parking: There will be limited private car parking in the golf course parking lot, especially until all buses are parked and unloaded. The should be some parking attendants in the parking lot starting at 2PM to direct parking. Private cars will need to park along local road 190th Street or side roads off Hwy 61.
