Gathering Our Team, Moving Into Week Three!

Week two is in the books, and we have found ourselves a heck of a team! Hard working, committed, engaged - these athletes want to get better and are willing to push themselves to get there.  That is the kind of kid we love to coach, and we have a bunch this year!

Every athlete needs to be registered over the weekend, and new athletes (as well as growing returners) might need new uniforms. Look for more information from Coach Erin in the coming days.

​Next Saturday, April 2, will be our first track meet of the year! This will be a great opportunity for everyone to see where they are at now, so we can compare how far they go by the end of the season. Everyone will compete in the 1500m early in the meet, and the 800m later on.  More info will be posted on this blog next week.  Please RSVP for the meet in the events section on the Team App no later than Monday so we can be sure and get your athlete registered.  If we miss the Tuesday deadline, there is no race day registration so your Hawk will not be able to participate.
