Jamboree at Home
April 23, 2008

 

“I was really pleased with the efforts the girls put forth today. They’ve been working hard in practice.  The middle distance and distance runners really came through for us today, I couldn’t have asked any more out of them.  They put in a lot of miles tonight.”  ~Coach Bonnie Brown
