Update 10/30

 Hi Everyone,

A quick heads up on a few things as we head towards the Off-season.

1) Tomorrow, 10/31, There is NO costume run.  I know we had mentioned the idea, but the interest was too low, considering other plans and schoolwork.

2) A few people have asked about team gear lately, so I'll repost the link here for those of you who want to represent in the off-season

3) Also linked here is the season's results spreadsheet, for those of you who may not have yet noticed it

Have a fun and safe Halloween!

Lastly, if you were looking for some gear, either for your child or for yourself, we have our team store here
