bring on the new year

*TEXT LAST WEEK'S MILEAGE TO COACH OR POST TO COMMENTS SECTION

Last week of the break, a new year on the horizon, and the indoor competition beckons!  Hopefully you've been able to rest and rejuvenate over the last couple of weeks.  We're anxious to see everyone and excited about the promise of a new track season!  Note - practice time for Friday will be set once we can get a better idea of the weather.  As of now it looks to be a very cold morning and most likely we'll want to practice when the temperature has a chance to rise above freezing :)
