Home Meet Helpers

Running a home meet is a lot of work and requires a lot of hands on deck!  

We are in need of some parent volunteers to help out at our home meet this Tuesday, April 11th.  

The field events where we need helpers are the Long Jump, Discus, Shot Put, & Pole Vault.  

Field events start at 3:30 and volunteers would need to be at the track by 3:15 to get materials and instructions.  

If you are interested or have any questions, please send an email to Coach Gailliez (gailliezm@usd231.com).

We really appreciate any help you can give!
