| Thank you for your attendance and support this night as well as throughout the season. Our parents have been a large part of our successes this year, and the countless hours spent in the things you do have paid off for all of our athletes. Your team treats, care for all our runners, emotional support, and advice have been invaluable. |
| 750 |
| Those athletes receiving the "750 Shirt" have successfully completed a mileage requirement over the summer months in order to receive a commemorative shirt. Historically, this mileage requirement was 750, but that standard has now been adjusted to several experience levels of runners. All recipients achieved their mileage goal. |
