From Coach Scott Holland: A huge thanks to the parents who volunteered and the coaches who ran the meet while still working with the athletes. We are still seeing strong results as we come to the end of the season. We now have over two dozen PRs and more qualifiers for SPC. I am looking forward to taking the largest group ever to SPC. The athletes are working hard and hopefully the strongest performances are still ahead of us.
