HEAT Meet

We've been holding out hope, but the proper and safe thing to do is to cancel the HEAT Meet this year. I'm sorry we are yet another casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic, but out of an abundance of caution for you, your kids, and the community as a whole, it's time to pull the plug.

It was a heart-wrenching decision because so many kids, parents and volunteers enjoy the atmosphere of friendly competition all of us have helped create over the years.

My personal apologies to the 11 year olds who are aging out this year. I've heard from many parents who's kids were looking forward to one last chance to compete. Time to set your sights on middle school cross-country and track!

To this year's 9- and 10-year olds - stay active and keep moving, without annoying you family while you are all cooped up. We'll see you next year!
