Runners and Parents,

After listening to the Governor’s update it appears there may be some hope that we will be able to have some form of summer training. We are hoping that we will be able to hold practices, our next step will be looking at some options if the ten person limit remains in place and making plans for what we can do if this is not the case. I would like to have definitive answers, however we will have to wait for additional information before coming out with a plan.

Coach Clark

Thank you runners, parents, family and friends who either cycled or helped out at the Cycle-thon. We appreciate you support and help in fundraising.
