They are working to expedite our request for next weeks practice session. Although its frustrating, track season is underwayso if youre an aspiring hurdler, consider this your chance for our first hurdle that we all have to clear to start the season. _

_Accordingly, our time trial has been postponed until the end of March, to be held during our regularly scheduled intersquad meet._
