Freezing First Track Meet

Thank you for all your good lucks on yesterday’s track meet. Being such a small team (8 kids came to the meet), we definitely needed it while competing with some of the huge schools. The meet went well. Since a lot of the track athletes are newbies, it was more...

Abstract vs Literal
