Divisionals time! We are just days away from our Divisional Championship meet which we will be hosting at YSU this Sunday, February 4. Attendance at practice has been fantastic! Keep coming in order to prepare to do your best at Divisionals.
Divisionals entry fee envelopes are now in your mailboxes. Please use these envelopes to pay your meet fees. Envelopes with payment can be turned in to Coach Sue. Make checks payable to the “Y-Neptunes.” Also in each envelope is a slip of paper listing your events. Some envelopes also include the $10 Concession Stand Fee that all families are paying so we can fill our concession stand with great food at Divisionals. Hosting Divisionals is a fund-raising event for us and we make the most money from our concession stand. Thanks to everyone ahead of time for your donation!
