Soaring With the Eagles!

IMG_0408

The Harriers opened the 2015 XC season with victories in both the boys and girls races at the Jim Ryun Invitational, thus earning two of the coveted “Attacking Eagle” trophies!  Why did they give us eagles?  Why do they have American flags?  And why are they attacking each other?  WE WILL NEVER KNOW!

Results can be found here.  A mere two point victory on the girls’ side… this should be an exciting season!

This Week’s Practice Schedule (August 24 to August 30)

Other big news for this week:  THE UNIFORMS ARE IN!  We are picking up ALL of the uniforms (and other items we ordered) at 5:00 PM on Monday, so you can pick them up at any practice this week.  Once we hand out the uniforms and other apparel, you will deal directly with the store if there are any issues or requests.
