Doug Conley Invitational
The kids did a great job at the race, with many more PRs.  Results can be found on Athletic.net Pictures are up on the website.

Thank you!
A very big thank you to the Hedberg family for hosting our final pasta dinner!  Once again, a great opportunity for the kids to hang out and socialize with their teammates.  Thank you to our dinner volunteers, and our meet volunteers as well!

Desert Twilight Meet 

  • This is a really fun event with teams from all over the southwest.  Check out the video of last year’s race on the home page.  You may see a few familiar faces!
  • The meet schedule can be found here.   We will be competing in the Large School Freshman races, Large School Open races (non-varsity), and Sweepstakes races (varsity). 
  • The bus will leave school at 2:00pm.  The kids will be excused from 7th period that day and should talk with their teachers about any makeup work. 
  • The bus will return around 11:30pm on Friday night.  Please be at school and waiting when they arrive back.  We will have them text when we are leaving Casa Grande. 
  • Be sure to bring layers of clothes as it gets cold on the grass in the evening. Bring a chair or blanket to sit on. 
  • Boosters will be providing pizza, snacks and drinks for the runners.  There are some food trucks at the event, but lines can be long.  Parents, you may want to bring your own food/snacks if you plan to stay for awhile.   
  • Traffic can get backed up at certain times getting into the parking areas, so plan to arrive early for the event you want to see.
  • This is a big meet and very spread out.  We need parents to help take pictures at the event.  Please help us out if you can!

Chipotle Fundraiser – Wednesday, October 4th
Mark your calendar for this evening from 5 – 9 pm at the Chipotle on Elliott, just west of the 101.  This will be our only restaurant night fundraiser of the year.  We get 50% of the sales from our group, so please plan to attend if you are able.  We really need your support for this one.  Plus, who doesn’t like a night off from cooking!

Go Aztecs!!
