Good Afternoon,

What a fantastic week of competition! Both teams went 2-0 over the weekend with big wins against Meridian and Marshall. It was exciting to see so many athletes stepping into bigger roles, and we’re loving the progress we’ve witnessed week to week.

This week, we have practices each day leading up to our big meet against Langley on Friday. We are traveling to Spring Hill Rec Center – all athletes must either ride the bus or be driven by their parents – athletes may not drive themselves under any circumstances. If you will drive your athlete, please email me in advance. Please read the schedule and notes below carefully, including important deadlines and reminders.
