Yep, it's happened-winter has left us, spring is winding down and summer is almost here in the Pacific Northwest! We have had a great winter and spring with a lot of activities and now handcycling, track & field and kayaking are taking up our time here at ASNW.
As we wrapped up our indoor seasons, we had the pleasure of hosting our athletes and volunteers at The Moda Center for celebratory lunch. We love all of our athletes and volunteers and on May 1st we got to tell them it. Congratulations to Cheryl Truong (Volunteer of the Year), Seth McBride (Athlete of the Year), Kayla Bolnick (Junior Athlete of the Year) and Jen Armbruster (Coach of the Year).
We are excited to be out of the gym and back outdoors and we hope you are too. Read below for details of our upcoming events and summaries of some of our recent activities.
Here's to a fun filled summer!
