Thanks to our wonderful parents who provided water and snacks for the meet, traveled hours and endured two days to cheer on and support our athletes. Thank you so much ... we are blessed to have you!
Coach Neisler sent out state meet info earlier ... Prelims for class 2A begin on Friday at 9a and are scheduled to be finished by 1230p. The Finals for all 3 classes begin at 10A on Saturday and are scheduled to be finished around 5p. This meet features the best athletes in the state and some of the best in the nation. It is one of the best organized and well run sporting events I have witnessed. If you like our sport, you'll love this meet. Make plans to cheer on our qualifiers ... the weather, so far, looks to be good! Hope to see you there!!
And since I am re-sending this I wanted to recognize Ally Shepard in the 800 barely missing the state qualifying time ... she ran a 2:23.82 in the open! Strange circumstances to be so happy and sad for a runner at the same time. We are so proud of Ally and her season she is having too!
