They will be going through the whole process as if it is a contest, complete with some guest judges. If you are free and want to see and hear the show in a quiet environment (except for the applause of course!) please come out this evening. The show is 8 minutes long so it will be short and sweet.

Parking for Daytime Events
This is a reminder that we have changed our parking policy in regards to campus events that are scheduled during school hours. Due to the increase in the number of student-assigned parking spots in the back parking lot, we ask that parents park in the front, and we will have a sign-in table just inside the cafeteria.

The squad was again led by senior Grant Tiff (16:12.51,12th place in scoring) who bettered his best Myers Park time from last fall of 16:28.00, followed by freshman Brady Laboret (16:17.23, 13th place), sophomore Brett Pedersen (16:21.31, 16th place), junior Ryan Brands (16:40.90, 24th place) and junior Bradley Davis (16:43.41, 34th place) concluded Lovejoy's scoring. The remaining 5 Lovejoy runners ... junior Ryan Spruell (16:37.40, 42nd overall), senior Nate Hartter (
