Schedule changes are an athletic director's worst nightmare... this year... it's how to safely host events.
I spoke with hayfield activities director ?
"* chris pack ?
"* w says even with the challenges brought on this year... it's exciting to know the kids can finally compete.xxx it feels good you know it's a chance for the kids to get out and compete and even though we don't have volleyball and football this fall we do have a number of kids out for cross country and yeah, it's abig day for them tomorrow to get a chance to get out and finally compete.
While tomorrow is an exciting day for hayfield cross country runners... pack says there are a lot of changes.
The number of people that can start at the beginning of the race is different and you know obviously the social distancing you know you have to try to keep with the fans and you can only have 250 fans as well so there's a few things that will certainly be different.
High school meets in minnesota are only permitted to have three teams, so there are more home meets for the vikings this season.
Pack says that led the school to host the meet on campus for the first time in years.
We host three time now.
We usually only host one meet and we do it out at our golf course, the elks.
But, having three of them we didn't want to burden them more than we already do.
To take two nice afternoons in september is tough so we created a course here on campus.
Pack says the athletes don't care where they run so long as they get to have a season.
We've got a number of kids who are out for cross country for the first time because they're football or volleyball players and wanted to do something so they're going out for cross country.
It's great to see (?
