Sometimes, mother nature is so cranky it’s pretty obvious and
that’s where we are with practice this week.
Practice is officially canceled both Tuesday and
Thursday due to ridiculous heat.
The bad news? Kids won’t have many practices experience before
their first meet on Friday Sept 16th.
The good news? This group is the best group of athletes
we’ve had in years. Every single one of them went a mile and a
half on our first day in the trails with…wait for it….ZERO
COMPLAINING. It’s a Christmas miracle.
All 5th – 8th grade boys and girls are welcome to join the St.
