Family,

Today’s practice will be at Colonial Forge at 5:45pm.

This weekend a couple of parents expressed interest in bringing their athlete to the AAU Primary National and Club National Championships (July 5/6 Primary) (July 7-13 Club Nationals). The Top 8 Athletes Advance! This is considered a LAST CHANCE meet to Qualify for the 2019 AAU Junior Olympic Games in Greensboro, NC. If an athlete that finishes in the top 8 has already qualified, then the next athlete will be “moved up” as an AAU Junior Olympic Games qualified athlete This does not apply for Multi-Events or Relays. Information regarding both events are in the following links:
