Also, congratulations to Nick Elia for competing in his first ever national competition!  We are so proud of you Nick!  Hopefully, next year, you won’t be going alone!

WE HAVE THE RELAY TROPHY!!!

For the first time ever, Cleveland Heights has won a relay trophy at states in the Midget and Under category.  Congratulations to Nick, Jacob, Tessie and Billy (and of course, Coach Nicole!!!) for all their hard work this year.  Our kids sure knew what they were doing out there — they were a well oiled wheel.

And great job to everyone at states — everyone had at least one personal best, and we are so proud!

Pictures will be up shortly.  Yay!
