Week 9 - What a meet!

I know you all wish you could have been there Friday evening or Saturday afternoon, but our current strange world continues in its strangeness. I hope many of you were able to watch the live streams and got a sense of the excitement.

I am so proud of these guys and what they were able to do in a short season. Dodging the virus and quarantines has certainly brought about its own challenges, but it has also brought out the best in many on this team and this weekend was the proof. Hard work is by its nature, well, hard. But hard work, even in a shortened season, even in difficult circumstances, still pays great dividends. Check out the results page and look at the improvements from
this meet and you can see the evidence.
