PLEASE help us keep the team safe. Athletes must keep 6 feet apart and masks must be worn at all times with the exception of competitions. Please keep your athlete home if they are waiting the results of a COVID test. We have so much to loose. Some kids are out for track to get in shape and have fun which is fantastic. Some kids are hoping for the opportunity for times/distances in events for college next year. We need to be smart and diligent. Thank you.
