THANK YOU

A BIG THANK YOU to all the family and friends who have helped our team surpass the halfway mark on our fundraising goal through our SnapRaise Fundraiser!! Please share our fundraiser on social media or via text or email to help us reach our goal before 4/26.

Our goals for this fundraiser included a new team tent for meets, extra coaches beyond the 5 the district funds, equipment & implements ... and now after Saturday's windstorm that picked up our entire high jump pit and flipped it over the fence surrounding the track, a new high jump pit cover (these run in the $2,000-$3,000 range). We appreciate your support in this effort!!


COMING SOON

Our next Team Dinner is scheduled for 4/26 at HRHS. We hope all athletes will attend to celebrate our fundraising efforts and the results of our Frosh/Soph Championship.

RSVP HERE (scroll to bottom for Attending)

 We're looking for parents to host and help provide food and drinks for the meal. The main dish can be pasta, pizza, a taco bar, or whatever you dream up. Multiple families can come together to host. Please help keep this team tradition strong!
