This week's meet is CANCELLED

--not because of weather...but because they are tearing out the runway and re-surfacing it


Sorry


Because this was to be our last week, we are done for the summer (unusual ending)
We will be back up and vaulting indoors at The UofM (Sundays) starting in December
--look for the session information to be posted in November
Until then, take this time to develop your speed and your strength so that when you return to vaulting, you are faster and stronger than ever before
