From Coach Inger Young: I wanted to take the opportunity to share how very impressed I was with CMS at the Platte County Invitational! Our runners did amazing on yet another hot and humid Missouri afternoon. Thank you to all the fans (family and friends) that support the runners in your presence on the course and behind the scenes. We really have a great group of runners and friends. They are so very good about supporting one another and working to improve as individuals as well. You can check race results at: https://www.morgansports.net/ Thank you for your help with the pre-meet meals and the Chillicothe Invitational. That was a big meet, on a hot day, at the beginning of a season. You were amazing support and help in getting concerns about runners to the right people, caring for those on the course and at the finish line, as well as providing information at check-in, parking and road closures. The course marshalls and finish line workers were sure valuable then and always. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We also had much, much appreciated sponsorship from our community as well. Pepsi donated ALL the water and Gatorade at the finish, Chillicothe EMT and Paramedics for services at the meet (they are always there and ready to serve), HyVee with ice and a gift card, KCHI for sound system, Chillicothe Area Tourism and Sliced Bread Museum for the Home of Sliced Bread Champions t-shirts, Chillicothe Parks and Recreation, Chillicothe Municipal Utilities, Chillicothe Police Department (I am hoping I have not, but may likely have) forgotten someone. This is a big meet and one of the (if not the) best meets in our region. We sincerely thank you for your huge part in our meet's success! Coach Dickson and I have had many thankful exchanges regarding how wonderfully supportive our cross country families and community are! Tomorrow will be our first middle school only meet. It will be at Truman Middle School in St. Joseph. The meet will start at 4:00 with the 8th grade boys' race and will follow consecutively in the order 8th grade girls, 7th grade boys and 7th grade girls. Each race will be run separately and one race will follow the next, therefore I cannot give you exact race times. Each race is stated as being 1.25 -1.5 miles, so this course is a little shorter than other meets. We will leave from the CMS about 1:45 and we will return for parent pick up at CMS following the meet (because this is a MS only meet). Today will be a regular practice for MS ending at 5. Tomorrow will be a light practice followed by a pasta party meal (MS only). We will practice until 4:30 tomorrow and then enjoy a generously prepared meal at 4:30. I cannot thank you enough for these wonderful meals:)

******SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT FOR TOMORROW NIGHT***** TOMORROW night, Home football vs. Brookfield We are pushing back kickoff to 5:30. Also, we will play the 8th grade game first, followed by 2 quarters of 7th grade.
