Week Three BHSXC

Hi Everyone!
As we near the end of our second week, we are so excited at all the progress the kids are making.  The early mornings agree with them! We are finishing up our workouts as a lot of teams are just getting started.

As we learned last week, they do not open the gate to the Hawk Watch parking lot until 7:30.  If the gate is still locked when you arrive, just drop the kids off and they can walk up to the main parking lot.  It will be unlocked by the time you pick up.
