4. Physicals for Outdoor spring track (for any student who has not had a physical yet this school year) will be held on Wednesday Feb 12: Girls at 3:40pm and Boys at 4:30pm.

Great job at Ursinus Invite! 3 more Emmaus indoor records broken (Girls 4×8, Boys 4×8, and Boys 55m hurdles broken by all 3 of boys entered) and 2 records tied (Girls 55m and Boys 55m). In addition, there were numerous best times/throws/jumps achieved. For those not particularly thrilled with their performance, we will continue to stress that “failures” are surely the stepping stones to future success!
