April 19 and 20: George Dean Memorial Track Meet -- Parkland School
Due to the snowstorm early Saturday morning we were forced to cancel all Saturday's events as the condition of the track and weather conditions made it too dangerous to hold any events. Fortunately Sunday turned out sunny with only a slight wind so we had a great day of events. The club is looking into the possibility of having the cancelled events from Saturday on Saturday, May 24, the day before we host the VIAA Pentathlon. Results -- Photos
