Coach Mark Glesinger said, “A very nice way to end the year. We had a lot of PR (Personal Records) on a day that was tough dealing with the wind. Many thanks go out to Cheryl, Barbie, and Buck for helping coach the kids and to all the parents who drove to the meets. We were disappointed that the Alliance meet was canceled but we were able to attend seven of the other meets which might be the most we have ever competed in.”
