Practice note for this week

I posted the practice schedule for the next few weeks earlier, but just a reminder that we're at 2:30 today through Friday. We will have a shorter practice on Friday, so anyone going to the Freshman/Sophomore semiformal will be out in time to get ready.

Later in the week, I'll post the order of events for dual meets. It's the same at each one, so you should get in the habit of memorizing when you're likely to race.

Don't forget to bring warm clothes for this week. Remember, if it's too warm, you can always leave them in your locker.
