LEOPARD RELAYS UPDATE: With the impending weather, we are going to start the Varsity Girls & Varsity Boys running events at 3:45pm beginning with 3200m. We can run JV/V girls and JV/V boys 3200m together. We will then precede in normal event order (scratching the throwers relay) for the Varsity. We will begin with JV field events at 3:45pm. Weather permitting, we will flip at the conclusion of the Varsity running events. If the weather doesn't hold, then that would conclude the meet. Thanks for rolling with the changes and we'll see y'all this afternoon!
It's Leopard Relays day and we are excited to be hosting some great teams from around the area! Field events kick off at 3:45pm, the 3200m at 4pm. We look to get the running events started around 5:45pm. #LeopardStrong #LeopardSpeed #WeAreLG
