SFCC/Cheney High School Twilight Series
Many athletes competed at the SFCC Bigfoot and Cheney High School Twilight Series of meets. As our senior athletes were rounding out their season, our junior aged athletes we're busy preparing to head off to Move United Junior Nationals in Denver!

Move United Junior Nationals
A team of 11 athletes made the trek to Denver and the Move United Junior Nationals. Our first swimmer, Alex raced to a number of great PR times in the pool! On field day, many PR's and National Age Group records were set. On the track the athletes competed fiercely and showed great sportsmanship! Nice work everyone!
