Registration for the Schoeder Distance/Spri t Open is available on the "meets" page. Registration is due no later than April 18th.

I would like to thank everyone for their help in running a very successful home meet this past weekend. As most of you know our team has historically hosted one meet per year during the winter season. Taking on a second meet is something we have discussed for some time and the steering team agreed this year to try a second meet. I received many compliments from coaches, officials and parents from teams participating in this meet. We could not have had these compliments and a successful meet without your help. Saturday was an especially hectic day as we needed to use different parts of the facility than we usually use. Despite all of this the meet was very successful by all measures. Thank you again for all of your help.

- Mark Van Hout
