RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

ST. PAUL MEET

The St. Paul Fun Day Meet was fun for all, except the pole vaulters and triple jumpers who didn't get to compete...  On the bright side Timothy Ary earned a new PR in high jump, as did Tristan Huo and Andrew Lopez in long jump.  Anaise Nugent stepped into the spotlight with an outstanding effort in the open 400 in her first meet!
