Due to inclement weather, we are unable to practice together this morning on the field, and do not want to risk the health and safety of any participants. We are sorry to cancel today. Any further questions can be directed towards Dr Brent Johnson. We are so disappointed, and we look forward to having you on campus in the future. Go Racers!”
