This meet concludes the Junior High schedule for the 2024 season. It has been a challenging season with the weather, but these kids stuck with the practices and were able to get three junior high meets in. They have tried new events, and it is exciting to see them build their future in this sport. They have withstood the challenges of the weather, the balance of schoolwork and our season, and I couldn’t be more proud of the accomplishments they have made.
