We will have a busy week as we will have pictures and a small mock meet timing for our athletes on Saturday.

All athletes need to wear their uniform for pictures and the meet on Saturday!

RAIN POLICY
If it is raining practice is canceled. However we will practice in a light sprinkle. This makes it tricky, many times it is not raining at the track when it’s raining at home. Do not drop off your athlete if there is a chance for a canceled practice, please stick around
Please be sure to text STORMTF to 41411 to be added to our urgent alert system, in the event of a canceled practice, we will send a group text alert out telling parents to pick up their athlete.
or text “follow @stormtrackclub” to 40404
