Conference at Norman High THIS FRIDAY

Conference is THIS FRIDAY at Norman High School. Athletes need to provide their own transportation to and from this meet. Please have them there at 8:30 with uniform, sweats, running shoes, spikes, food and drinks. The weather isn't looking too good so make sure and dress appropriately to stay warm and dry! Weather Channel is reporting only a high of 60* with a 60% chance of rain. We are looking for parents to help supervise the team at our "camp" and make sure they get to their check in and events on time. If you are interested in helping, please let Coach Hogan or Coach Balkman know. Also, if you are willing to send snacks or drinks for the kids please let us know. Thank you to those parents who have provided snacks and drinks at previous meets!!
