Hopkins Varsity finishes 7th at Western Nationals

I can't give much detail other than what I read on Twitter, and some of that I don't understand . But here are a few items from Westerns.

• Hopkins went 2-3 with wins over Lakeside and Churchill, losses to Northwest School, Cathedral, and Alameda.
• National H.S. Open Champion was South Eugene, defeating Northwest School in the finals.
• Northwest School won the Girls National Championship, beating St. Cloud Cathedral for the title.
  

We look forward to the return of our varsity boys, their stories from the weekend and the two final tournaments of the season: Hopkins Hustle and Minnesota State Ultimate Tournament.

Western Nationals: Day 1 results

Hopkins over Lakeside H.S. (WA) 13-8
Hopkins over Churchill H.S. (OR) 15-2

Just a few more details for Westerns

Just a few final things I wanted to tell you all before we see you in Seattle. You can bring a backpack along with your carry on as your 2nd item(earlier I had implied that it should be smaller than that). When you arrive in the Seattle airport you'll take the tram to the baggage area and we will meet you there where we will pick up our rental cars and head to Burlington.

My cell phone number is 612-817-7997

Western Nationals Travel details

Meet at Door 6 by Delta ticketing area at 1 p.m., Friday. (Mimi Klane will be there.)

The flight is Delta 2053, scheduled to depart MPLS at 2:40pm

Make SURE to bring a photo ID.

I would encourage all of the boys to travel with only carry on luggage, but if they want to check a bag there is a $25.00 charge for the first bag, $55.00 for the second, each way, unless they have elite status on Delta as a frequent flyer in which case it's free. You are responsible for this additional cost if they do choose to check a bag; please let us know ahead of time if you think you will be doing this; that way we'll know if we need to build extra time into the check in process.

The rule for liquids in carry on luggage is 3-1-1. Each individual item can be no larger than 3.4oz, everything must fit in 1 quart size zip top bag, and each passenger is allowed only one.

Each passenger is allowed one piece of carry on luggage as well as a smaller item such as a brief case, laptop case, purse(doubt we'll have any of those!) etc. A jacket and food/beverages purchased in the airport can also be carried on.
