State Meet Fan Bus Cancelled.

Due to a lack of RSVPs and interest, I regret to inform you that the fan bus to the 2011 State Cross-Country Meet has been cancelled. If you are still planning on attending, I recommend car pooling with team mates and parents, as there is an admission for parking. The fee is based per vehicle and not per person. Thank you for those athletes interested and I hope to still see you there.
