We'll have a year-end recap in the FootTrails newsletter coming out soon, including the banquet and all the award winners.

What's going on with the club this month:
The Class of 2019 Scholarship - the new scholarship form is out on the website for Class of 2019. Please share with any runners who are graduating this year. Note that the deadline for applications is earlier this year, March 15, 2019. This earlier process will allow the recipients to be recognized during their graduation ceremonies for the scholarship.
