NO TRACK MEET ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 9

We are sorry to report that all Arlington County events are cancelled for this weekend, Saturday--Sunday, January 8-9, including the track meet we planned this Sunday, January 9

Arlington County offered us several make-up dates, and we opted for Sunday, February 6, same schedule of events

We shall enter everyone already entered for the season automatically to February 6

We are sorry about the change, but there's nothing we can do

We're still scheduled for January 16 and January 30, no change (we hope)
