State Meet reminder

Hi,

A friendly reminder to register for the state meet if your athlete will be doing it.  State registration is due 10/30 at 6pm.  Top 15 individuals and top 2 teams in each age group will advance to the USATF Regionals.  They are unattached at first and I will get them connected to Striders.
