RECAP:
It was a great day for the club on our home turf. The athletes ran tough as they trenched through the mud and delivered some of the best performances of the year. Our performance of the meet goes to the 11-12 boys who showed their depth by sweeping their 3,000 race going 1-5 and 7-9.
Another big thank you to our Bowerman TC pros that came out to support the athletes and show what this club is all about. Youth to Olympians, chase dreams together!
