Track Meet CANCELLED for Monday the 25th
GICC has decided to cancel their track meet for Monday the 25th due to the weather forecast. They informed us that this meet will not be rescheduled.
The Whippet Quiz Bowl team faced some stiff competition today at the ESU#11 meet, placing 5th in the 12 team field. After early victories over Wilcox Hildreth and Loomis, their first loss in the double elimination tournament was to Cambridge, who went on to claim 1st place. Southern Valley then knocked the Whippets out of the tourney before ending the day in 2nd place.
Great job, quiz bowlers!!!
