Well Webber Nation, I hate this, I really do but I cant put kids at risk of injury. Today's BB/SB games are canceled. Just too much water to overcome. I hate this for our Seniors especially Wyatt and Noah cause this is their only Sr. Night but I have no choice.
We will try to figure something out so it wont be totally lost. Just not today. Sorry.
Ok, Webber Nation here it is. If we do not play BB-SB today we lose Sr. Night. If we had to play this minute we could not. We have had just toooo much water. We are going to re- evaluate at 2 and make the best call possible. I've done the best I can do, Mother Nature is in charge now.
With the Pee Wee met being canceled today there will be Pee Wee track practice after school till 4:15 however.
PeeWee Track Meet Canceled
We had a dual meet planned today with Raccoon for Pee Wee track. They have informed me they will be unable to attend today so no Pee Wee Track today.
Two more 4x800/4x400 PRs last night at a great 18 team Rick Book invite in Fairfield for our High School boys Track and Field program.
Raced a really strong Newton 4x8 squad and great Fairfield 4x4 that we will see again in sectionals.
6 second 4x8 pr and over 1 second pr in 4x4. These guys have PRd every time they have raced faster teams, they simply love to race and rise to the occasion!
Next boys meet is sectionals at home on May 16th! Show up for our boys!
