Richland Invite

A big thank you to everyone who helped with the meet today.  Everyone was incredibly happy with the meet and I received nothing but positive feedback.  The weather cooperated and Lindsey Bradley is now a two time Richland Invite Champion with the 3rd fastest time ever run on our new course.  A new course record was also set on the boys side by Tanner Anderson from North Central.

Some notes for this week:

*White Pass XC Camp is now open for registration online at sunfairrun.com .  We will be attending the first week, but sign up quickly (next day or so hopefully) as spots are filling up fast.

*We will be having a re-take of our team pictures some-time in the next two weeks.  More information to come.

*We have our last league meet this Thursday at Lawrence Scott Park.  Itineraries will be handed out this Wednesday.
