Over the weekend, both our Girls on the Run and our boy’s Let Me Run teams competed in 5k races. The girls ran at the YMCA and the boys ran at Meadowbrook Park. The coaches of both teams would like to congratulate their athletes on a fantastic race and an amazing season. We are all proud of you!
A special thanks to sponsors Petry Kuhne and C-U Under Construction, who helped cover race registration costs for the Let Me Run team. Your support is appreciated!
Finally, a great thank you to our volunteer coaches, Mrs. Long, Mrs. Bear, Mrs. Beesley, & Mrs. Zumbahlen, for making the season possible!
