It is hard to believe we are nearing the end of our 2020 regular season!! I am so thankful to have been able to have this modified season for the athletes and families! We will have a fun practice this Thursday for the kids. We get to run with Glow sticks, or necklaces. Storm will provide 2 for each kids but you are welcome to buy extra if you want. The dollar Tree and other stores carry a variety of glow apparel if you would like to add some to the party. The kids enjoy this very much!
This Saturday is the final time trial for most athletes. The Valley Youth Conference will provide medals for ALL athletes that run! Although we will not be able to bring the podiums and have the award presentation we will still be awarding the medals at the finish line.
If you have not been able to volunteer yet, we need about 5 people per race at the finish line PLEASE HELP!!
Save the date of November 7th!
We will have a small team gathering to present each athlete with a trophy to mark the accomplishments of our 2020 Season! All the coaches and families worked so hard to make this happen. Although we can not have our traditional awards dinner, we will meet at Central Park and hand out the trophies and enjoy some cupcakes!! I will send out more info on the time next week!!

Thank you for arriving at your age group time and leaving after cool down practice. By coming at your assigned time.
