Spectators

We have always been very flexible with letting athletes, coaches, and even spectators on the infield. In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to control the infield/finish line area. We are asking for your help. All non-competing athletes should remain in the stands and managers should remain in the bleachers by the finish line. No pets are allowed on school property.

Admission - $6.00 for Adults and $3.00 for Students (Cash Only)
