December 12th, 2024

12/12/2024

 
Hello MAST Family,

​
It’s that time of year! With our first races coming up next week, it’s time to state your Race Intentions for our December Races.

We really encourage everyone to race our two Hyland races. These will be more like instructional races and are important so we can all rehearse our duties: the athletes (veterans and rookies alike), the race workers, and our coaches. We hope to have some gate training over the next few practices so make sure to bring your shin guards!

We have some very important stuff in this Update so please read in detail.

***And HUGE Thank Yous to Mike & Jen Rulf and Dual Citizen Brewing for hosting another fun Parent Social this past Sunday! It’s always nice to have introductions and catch up when we’re warm, not completely bundled up, and can actually see each other’s faces. Much appreciation to those who attended the Race Worker Training and signed up to volunteer too!

OUR FIRST THREE RACES ARE APPROACHING.  STATE YOUR INTENTIONS NOW!
  • Wednesday, December 18 - Hyland (SW, Washburn, MAST)
  • Friday, December 20 - Wild Mountain Invitational - We will take the top 6 racers from each team, but please state whether you are available nonetheless. The bus will meet at 6:15am.
  • Monday, December 23 - Hyland Mpls Alpine Championship - Minneapolis teams competing and everyone is encouraged to race!

HOW DO YOU STATE RACE INTENTIONS?

When you click on the spreadsheet link below, look for the tabs at the bottom of the page for each specific race: Dec. 18th, Dec. 20th, and Dec. 23rd.  Click on a tab and find your team (scroll down) and then find your name. If you plan to race, type a Y in the Yes box next to your name. If you do not want to race, type a N in the No box next to your name.
For Race Intentions: Click Here.

Deadline for race intentions  - Saturday Dec 14 for the Dec 18 and 20th races; Wednesday Dec 18 for the Dec 23 race.  *If you do not state your race intentions for Hyland races, you’re automatically placed at the bottom of the run order.

RACE WORKER SIGN UP for December 18   We need your help!

We need race workers to pull off a successful race - and lots of them.  Please sign up!
