Good afternoon and Happy Sunday! Can’t believe the Holidays are among us and the new year is right around the corner!
I want to take a moment to say how thankful I am to be a coach in this amazing program. The way our athletes and coaches have responded to the adversity we have faced this season has been a true test of their character and their commitment to the program. We have had to endure thoughts of the PG Complex closing for the entire season (thinking our season was over), to losing all six of our scheduled meets in December, to long cramped bus rides and a few really late nights! I am so amazed by these young men and women and our Amazing Coaches!
We have been fortunate have three meets thus far this season. Most athletes have had a chance to compete in at least one meet. A few more will get another chance to compete on December 27th. Please read more about December 27th below.
Results from the last three meets:
December 8: Mercersburg Academy
December 9: Ice Box Scrimmage
December 16: Ursinus HS Invite
*PR represents an athlete’s personal best mark.
*SB represents an athlete’s season best mark.
