Now that the track and field season is over, we want to give a little update.

First, we want to sincerely apologize for the rollout of the track batons for the athlete of the week this season. It proved to be more difficult to get them to look the way we wanted than we originally thought. That said, every athlete who was awarded a baton this year will get it. We will get them made and coordinate with parents/families.

We will also do the same with the mini basketballs from the basketball season. I am putting the picture below for reference. If you see your athlete, feel free to send us a message or comment on the post, and we can coordinate a pick-up.

We will continue to give out athlete of the week and player of the game awards, as it's very important for us to give back.

We will ensure our processes run more smoothly in the future, and a big shoutout goes to Taylor for her track baton work. I am not nearly as gifted as she is, so without her, it wouldn't be possible!
