The results are in for the Citywide Track Meet held at Abe Martin Stadium. Congratulations to all of our young participants!

Because we have chosen to compete the way we have the past 12 years we were much better prepared for the level of competition we met in Houston this weekend. I have always told the team, “Watch and learn. Appreciate what they have done and it will help us to be better.” That attitude helped us successfully build one of the best robots and strategies in our team history.”
