Re:  Bloomer Invitational Track Meet – Tuesday, May 3, 2011

 

We are eagerly looking forward to hosting our invitational track meet again this spring.  Five years ago we opened our new track facility, which includes the all-weather surface.   By hosting this invitational, we hope to gain experience for hosting the Heart of the North Conference meet and a Division 2 regional meet later this spring.  Please read the following information and share it with your boys and girls track coaches.  Feel free to call if you have any questions.
