District meet results

The season came to an end for some yesterday and with that were many PR’s.  Congratulations to all that participated and came out and supported the team.  It rained, it hailed, but by the time the 100’s kicked off the weather parted and we had clearing for the rest of the meet.  Great job everyone!
