Due to the weather expected on Friday, Avon has decided that they will combine their Varsity meet with the JH Meet tomorrow. With the added HS events, they will start the JH Field events at 12:45 and running events at 1:00.
The Parker/Marion Varsity track team will still be traveling to Lennox tomorrow as scheduled. This only affects the JH track meet in Avon.
Please expect a longer day with this event. Pack a lunch, snacks, and anything you may need to get through a longer day!

The Marion Strength Program welcomed four new members and recognized one member for improvement! 💪

Students maxed in three lifts—bench, squat, and deadlift—and their combined totals earned them placement in a pound club based on their achievements.

On behalf of the Marion Strength Program, we would like to thank NuGen Energy for their generous donation and Victoria Blau for making the shirts.
