Greetings!

Thank you all, Coaches, parents, and athletes for a fantastic WESTERN OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP MEET! There were so many Storm Athletes on the podium and a great time was had by all. For those athletes who competed Saturday we will have any ribbons not given on the podium at practice on Wednesday, or you can pick them up at the Awards Picnic May 20th. We will be sending Award Picnic flyers out next week,so save the date!! Storm is so proud of every athlete that competed with us!!

This week the athletes seeded in the League Meet will continue to practice. The next meet will be very exciting too, as we go against the top competition from the Western League! The top 4 athletes (and the best 5th between the leagues) from this meet will advance to the Individual Events Championships on May 12th at Moorepark College!!

We will need at least 2 trucks or SUV's to help bring our equipment from across the street in the morning and back after the meet, please sign up if possible!! The sign up has already been sent out
