Owatonna High School

Rochester Mayo High School

Rochester John Marshall  CO-OP w/ Roch Lourdes HS

Winona S.H.S. CO-OP with Cotter High School

Everyone was in Winona last month for the Section True Team except Mayo, and we saw them in the dual and at Big 9.

It’s a long layoff between Conference and Sections for the Big 9 Teams as it is for Farmington. They had their Missota Conference meet last weekend, finishing 3^rd behind champion Chanhassen and host Northfield. The lone exception is Hastings, which has their conference championship tomorrow, Nov. 3^rd. They are a part of the Suburban East conference along with Cretin-Derham Hall, East Ridge, Forest Lake, Mounds View, Park, Roseville, Stillwater, White Bear Lake, and Woodbury. Over half of whom qualified and scored points at last year’s State Championships, so there is a lot of talent in the water! How the Raiders will react to that level of racing in the midst of their taper will be interesting to observe. Throttling back and keeping your eye on the prize (Sections qualifying) might be a difficult task!
