Sierrah’s mom emailed Channel 58 news out of Milwaukee about us and they came out to film practice and interview us for a story for their station. The videographer was here for about 2 hours filming and the finished product was very nicely done.

The sectional meet was held at Princeton
an May 29th and we all travelled there to cheer on our qualifiers. We were unsure of the weather as they had called for
80% chances of thunderstorms. Luckily the only rain we had lasted about 5 minutes during
competition and then even the clouds went away. The boys 4x800 started the night out and they finished 14th. They had a great season and should only get better next year.
