Awards following last race

As you can see this is a morning event that lasts until around lunch time.  If you can not volunteer for the whole morning, we will take you for whatever time slot you can work.  We will not ask you to work at anytime that you have a child running a race.  You definitely need to be cheering them on.  As Coach Hamilton announced at the parent meeting, a parent is not allowed to run beside their child during the race.  This will disqualify your child.  Your child has been working hard all season long.  They need all of our support.

Volunteers who have already signed up:
Chute Workers - Michelle Scott, Damon Hall, Lisa Hansen, Amy Grinstead, Julie Eaton,Suzanne Harwood, Fleur Whitaker, Donna Johnson
