Track News:: Congratulations to everyone who attended Junior Olympics this past weekend. There were a lot of good performances and personal bests to show for the effort.

Registration for Regionals opened today and closes on July 2nd. Please do not delay in registering for your events. The relays have been paid for by the club already.

If you are done competing for the summer, PLEASE RETURN YOUR JERSEY AND/OR SHORTS. Coach Matthew only got a few sets back at practice on Monday. He will be able to collect uniforms again at practice on Monday 7/1. Please return things washed.

For those who are done competing but wish to still practice you can practice, but coaches will structure the training routines for those who have events to compete in still.

If you are considering going to nationals and wonder what is required to be competitive, please look at past years results to know what time/distances fall into the top 16. If you have a mark in the top 16 for a previous national meet, that is a great position to be in coming into this year. Top 8 are considered all American finishers and will be recognized in a medal ceremony at nationals.

Have a great week!
