Only 1 regular season meet left!

We had a very successful home meet a couple of weeks ago!  It was really crazy getting ready for it, but overall it ran smoothly.  Thanks to all of the parents for pitching in before, during, and after!  We made nearly $2,000!  Now that everyone has had a chance to take a quick breather after the home meet, it's time to finish up the competition season.  We only have one regular season meet left.  It is this SUNDAY at Kettering.  Below is the schedule.  Make sure you check what time your gymnast(s) need to be there:)
