An informational meeting for the local entry in the Minnesota High School Cycling League is 7 p.m. Tuesday at Northfield High School.
Griff Wigley isn’t sure what to expect from Tuesday’s information meeting for the Cannon Valley Mountain Bike Team. Formation of the team—open to ninth- to 12th-graders in the Northfield, Faribault, Cannon Falls, Lonsdale and Red Wing area—has received plenty of media attention around town and in the Twin Cities. Whether that press coverage translates into more participants in bike saddles remains to be seen. “We’re hopeful, but you never know until D-Day,” said Wigley, one of the team's coaches. D-Day comes with Tuesday's meeting, which is slated for 7 p.m. in the Northfield High School cafeteria. Students and parents are invited.

Carleton ended Gustavus' five-year run at the conference tournament, which started in 2007.
A week ago, the Carleton College women's tennis team ended Gustavus Adolphus College's two-decade reign over the MIAC regular season by upending the Gusties and claiming the MIAC's regular-season championship. The Knights continued that trend, and beat Gustavus for the third time this season, in the MIAC Playoff Finals to earn the team title and clinch the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships, 5-3. Kathryn Schmidt (Sr./Hopkins, Minn.) at first singles and Molly Hemes (So./Green Bay/Preble) at fifth singles provided the final two points to clinch the championship for Carleton (18-5).
