This weekend was one of the busiest weekends we have had in a while. Yesterday, April 21, 2012 we traveled to Oshkosh with 20 swimmers for our District competition. Everyone did quite well. We do not have to final results yet, but will post them as soon as we get them. We are working on getting the pictures from the day posted on our Facebook page.

Then today, April 22, 2012 we traveled to Stevens Point with the Soccer teams to get some practice games with the Stevens Point YMCA team. This is the 2nd year that we are offering soccer and we have enough athletes for 2 teams. Both are coming together well and learning how to work together as a team. They will travel to Green Bay on May 5th for their District competition.

Here are some of out other up coming events:
May 12 - District Track Meet
May 13 - Semi Pull and Strongman/woman Competition
May 15 - Bocce Practice Starts
June 7 - Law Enforcement Torch Run
June 7-9: Summer State Games
