If you missed the preseason meeting, please check the document posted below this message.

Spring sign-up's are open. Go to: www.whsactivities.org

Please consider attending our Color Blast Fun Run this Saturday 5/5

The meet at Eagan for tomorrow (Tuesday) has been canceled because their field event and warm-up areas are in really bad shape. Sorry for the late notice, but we desperately added a dual meet at Park High School this week on Wednesday 4/25. Field events start at 4:00, running events at 4:15. Students are released at 2:15. 

The biggest problem with setting up this meet is that we can only get a bus if we schedule one at least two weeks in advance. Our district policy allows kids to drive to intra-district events as long as parents are notified ahead of time. If you have any issues with your athlete riding with other students or parents to this meet, please email me at lswansso@sowashco.org
