Accomodations for the Games!

Hi everyone, here is the answer to a very popular question today! I was able to find out and confirm the following accomodations for the athletes for the duration of the games!

Female athletes

CRESCENT HEIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL (right beside the track)

Male athletes

MEDICINE HAT HIGH SCHOOL (sorry, across the river!)

Thanks to all the athletes and parents that attended yesterdays team meeting! Very much appreciated to get all the paperwork said and done! The team will be posted very shortly with events that athletes have been put into. As mentioned at yesterday's meeting, we would like the team to compete at the Sherwood Park Classic on July 19th weekend, in Sherwood Park especially the relay teams for a competition/practise for the events you may not be familiar with!

If you have not filled out and signed the paperwork, please contact me asap as we have a deadline of Friday June 27!!!

By way of introducing the team, we would like to feature a different athlete every couple of days on the website! If you would like to be involved in this please send a jpeg picture of yourself (either a head shot or action shot doing an event) and a short athlete bio! We can then introduce all athletes for our team! Please indicated what track club you are associated with!

Total Team Roster Named

See you all on Sunday June 22!
