Practice and Meet Schedule 9/27-10/12

Hi Everyone!
We are at the end of our SEVENTH week together!  Time flies when you are having fun!  Before I get into listing the schedule, I wanted to remind everyone of our ONE and ONLY fundraiser coming up on Friday October 18th:  The Joe O'Neill Invitational.  Since I am the meet director, our program gets all proceeds from t-shirt sales and concessions.  Last year, over 1300 runners participated.  We will need all hands on deck that day to help sell shirts, concessions, and work the finish chute.  Click HERE to sign up to help :)
