First of all, thank you all so much for your help this past Saturday at our Oil Patch Invitational XC Meet. We had over 40 teams with over 1,000 total entries, and the day went off without a hitch, and that is entirely thanks to the amazing help you all provided. I received numerous compliments from coaches and spectators about how professional you all were and how well the meet was run! And thank you as well to any of you who came out to support the team. The Oil Patch Invitational and the Sundown Community have a long standing reputation of high energy and competitive spirit, and that legacy continued on Saturday, so once again thank you all so much for your support and dedication to this school and our team.
