We had a great time last night at our All-comer Track races. Thank you to Immanuel Lutheran also participating. We will do a couple more in May. Reminder that there is no practice tonight (Wed 4/23) due to Rotolo hosting a track meet. Please contact me if you are interested in helping out with the Great Western Half Marathon water station on Sunday May 4 morning 7:15am to 9:15am. I would like to get people lined-up asap. Also there is a chance to volunteer to clean-up the trails near the Windmill this Sunday (4/27) 9-10am. If you have any questions,
