We are so thankful for this amazing track! We know it’s been hard on the entire community to stay away from our Athletic Complex during repairs. We need you to avoid it for three more days please to allow the finish to fully set. Monday, it’s ready for walking!

If your Chromebook is not working, try turning it on an off again. We know it sounds like an IT joke, but it really does work. Sometimes a restart is required to get a new setting to work.
