Greetings!
The meet on Saturday was so exciting and all the athletes and parents really stepped up and had a great time. Almost every athlete was able to get their Personal Records on our home course and we were able to see most of them up on the Podium! A special thanks to all the parents that helped with the snack bar and course, and to Amy Archie and the Calderon family for setting all this up for our team. The Storm Family is the Best!!

We have one more regular season race this Saturday at Crescenta Valley Community Regional Park in La Canada. This is a very fun course and we will be giving out AAU medals to the top 3 finishers in every race!
