Thank you to everyone that helped get runners to Lakeville. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this caused.

We would like to have a short parent meeting Sunday at the high school at 3:45pm.

Naked Beef final pick up will be at 4:00 p.m.

There will be apparel pick up as well.

You can turn in your raffle tickets and money if you have sold your tickets. The raffle winner will be drawn Thursday at the Beef O Brady final fundraiser. All money and raffle tickets need to be turned in by then.

Thank you!

We just received notice that a bus is available for a limited number of Runners. There are 20 spots available on the bus. The bus will be leaving Andover High School at 1:30 p.m. today, and the team will be sharing it with the Anoka High School team. If your runner needs a ride, it’s first come first serve. You must sign up on the sign up genius at:

There is NO BUSING for tomorrow’s race.

Unfortunately, the board receive this information this evening. Due to liability issues, the board and team representatives are unable to coordinate runners’ transportation to the race. Thus, parents will need to transport their runners to the race in Lakeville, MN. Please have your runners in Lakeville an hour before their race time.

Runners should leave Andover no later than the times listed below:

1:30 Boys JV
2:00 Girls JV
2:30 Boys Varsity
3:00 Girls Varsity
3:30 Boys C team
4:00 Girls C team

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause runners and families.

Please know that the school is working closely with transportation companies and the school district transportation department on providing transportation to future events. However, we may encounter this throughout the season.

The Andover AD is working with the Anoka High School AD to find transportation for both teams to potentially share a bus for those runners that don’t have rides. However, please do NOT count on this transportation, as they are having a difficult time obtaining transportation.
