LCC Track & Field Thunderbirds

This evening we celebrated our incredibly hardworking athletes with an end of season banquet.

We are so proud of each and every one of these kids. We’re not just a program, we’re family. These athletes celebrate each other in the good times, uplift, support, and encourage one another through the hard moments, and always find ways to push each other to be better.

They are each other’s biggest cheerleaders. They motivate, inspire, and remind one another that no one stands alone. Like any season in life, there are ups and downs, victories and challenges, but through it all, we remain one team, one family, united together.

What a truly remarkable group of young athletes.

Now onto the post season, districts start tomorrow!!
