Rough Schedule for Saturday's meet

Below is the information directly from the meet management. It appears all of girls who are racing will be running at the same time! Wow!!!!! That will be at least 30 girls. We won't be racing the injured people (obviously) or the ones with fewer than 10 practices under their belt per OHSAA rules.

Bus will leave SJA at 7:30 am. Stuff for the camping trip should be either on the bus at this time, or brought with parents going out to the meet. We are NOT coming home then going back out again.

Woohoo - just 5 days!
