Our team is now in Championship part of the season!
The Conference Finals on April 28 was the last meet for many of our athletes. For the Conference Championship meet on May 5, athletes must qualify in order to complete. For athletes who do not qualify to participate in this meet, they will no longer attend practices after the Conference Finals meet, April 28, meet and we look forward to celebrating with them at the Tigres end of season picnic on Sunday, May 6.
