Conference

Congratulations to the Nighthawks in their first-ever Conference race! The Twin Cities Athletic Conference (TCAC) is comprised mainly of small private, charter, and other non-traditional schools. We were so thankful to have been welcomed into the group this season and enjoyed being in the mix of competition--plus it was an incredibly beautiful day for the event at St. Catherine University in St. Paul.

The girls took home the Runner-Up plaque (team hardware is a Nighthawk first!), and the boys took 3rd with a record combined team time. Congratulations to our 4 girls and 4 boys who earned All-Conference honors by finishing in the top 15: Erika Swanson (2nd place), Margaret Myskowski (6th), Marielle Chamberlain (8th), and Erin McGowan (11th); Luke Swanson (5th place), Phillip Kippley (12th), Grant Olson (14th), and Drake Fraser (15th); and to all who set season and lifetime PR's today. Go Nighthawks!

Huskies Hill Thrill

This was another new meet for us this year. It was basically our Conference competition, minus the bigger varsity teams, which meant our team was more prominent in the results. Having that many Nighthawks up front was a new and slightly awkward experience, but hopefully it gave everyone a little appreciation for those who run alone. It also was fun for those who otherwise don't have a chance at a medal. The hills were memorable, the hosts were gracious and welcoming, and chocolate milk was served after the race!
