April 26 Bullseye youth meet at Reservoir High (home meet) Bullseye Running / HoCo Striders Parents It is our turn to host and it takes many volunteers to pull it off. The more volunteers the quicker and smoother the event goes. Many of you have told me you have been a track and field athlete at some point so I am really hoping you all join in and volunteer...
