In this event we need help! Athletes will need to find rides to the school, and their rides should plan to pick them up at the school hosting the meet.

Earning a Varsity Letter Award – standards in handbook
Hosting Co-Ed Relay Meet and Youth Meet – need volunteers for many different things. Hoping these things can work well this year, so it can be our main source of fundraising in the future!

Spikes
Tights, underarmour, etc. for COLD meets – one solid color please (relay teams definitely need to be the same)
