We made it! So many "thank you's" to give out: Parents who helped in any way at the meet (concessions, with events, timing, donating food or time to the coaches' dinner, getting your kid's gatorade donation on Friday morning when they forgot to remind you all week!), Athletes who helped in any way (helping at an event, moving hurdles, setting up, cleaning up, bringing your drink donation), Friends of PV track & field (officiating events, weigh-ins, and a million other things), and anyone else who helped out in any way... you are all SO AMAZING! The PV Invite was our largest yet (1,700 athletes with 60 schools represented) and it went very well. And we are all glad it is done. Also, thanks to all the athletes that went and helped out at the Fossil Donut Run... kids loved having you there.
