Glenbard East: First Meet of the Season





The temperature was supposed to get into the 70's today, or so we thought!  It was damp and chilly most of the day, as can be seen in some of the pictures. 
But aside from the weather, it was a good day for the Warriors at their first meet of the season for 2012.  Everyone put forth a good effort and two of our students qualified for State!

Enjoy the day in pictures from the warmth of your own home. Smile
