I apologize for being late in my weekly update, in case you have not heard, I had an eventful weekend in the BWCA. On Friday evening I cut the back of my hand and upon my return spent 5 hours in the ER Saturday night. I currently have 3 stitches and a splint on my left hand (making it very challenging to type) and am seeing a hand specialist today at 12:30pm.
CONGRATULATIONS to ALL of the runners on an impressive showing at the NWSC Championship Meet last week!! Our Varsity Team was 4th our of 13 teams and our JV Team WON with an INCREDIBLE score of 24. What an amazing race to take 1st & 2nd place in the JV race, way to go Louis & Nolan!!!
