Dear Patrons and Track Parents
Tomorrow, April 18, we will be hosting our last meet of this season. We have had some amazing help from parents so far this season. All of the Track Coaches greatly appreciate all of you who have helped previously. It has allowed us to focus on coaching our athletes. Without your help, we couldn’t run off the meets this season efficiently and effectively.
However, we are concerned that we might not have enough workers for tomorrow's events. So we are reaching out to you one more time. We have several spots already filled, but we could definitely use some more helpers. If you can be at the track before 3:30 pm, please sign up to help at an event. If you cannot be there by that time, we will still need help with timing when running events start at 5:30.
Thank you for you time and support. If you have any questions, please email the coaches.
