The Milaca Mega-Meet is only a week away (see snack sign-up opportunity below) – Saturday, September 21 at the Stones Throw Golf Course (Milaca Golf Course). The meet has a helpful website, https://sites.google.com/site/megameet/, which has a map of the race course you can print out and bring with you, driving and parking directions, and race schedule. Porta-potty lines are long, parking may not be close to the course – plan accordingly. Course is ideal for spectating – you can catch the runners at several different points as they move through the race. It is a GREAT day and well worth the drive. With over 3,500 runners from all over the state, it is quite the event. First race at 10:00 a.m. (8th grade boys), last race at 2:15 p.m. (JV boys) – unless you’re running in the “alumni” race that follows at 2:40 p.m. (just need to be an alumni of something!). Hoping to see a solid contingent of East supporters to cheer on the team.
The turnout at the Superior/Nemadji meet was fantastic (a little footage on the meet from WDIO here: http://www.wdio.com/article/stories/s3158675.shtml). Many photos from the Superior/Nemadji meet are posted in the Facebook group for parents and fans: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dulutheastcc/.
