From the R-H coach: Due to the ACT morning testing, I have moved the senior race back to its normal position. Please note changes below (last year I moved the Juniors to the end due to testing) I hope this helps some of your students athletes that were trying to do both, test and race.

NO MEET TODAY
I have canceled our meet for today. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We have been bombarded with illness on our team. Quite a few athletes going today are what I would call borderline as far as their health goes. I took a look at the forecast for LeRoy NY this morning, and my decision became easy. I have never canceled a meet in 19 years, and I will probably never cancel another...BUT I feel it was in the students best interests.
