Good Afternoon Coaches,
After looking at our track and the facilities, we are already underwater, so we are going to postpone the Downey Relays.  I'm not sure of a new date, but I'm inviting all the schools to possibly setting up a weekday meet in the coming weeks.  If we can secure a new weekend date, we'll let everyone know as soon as possible.  Any questions, please contact me.  Thank you all for your involvement with the Downey Relays and my apologies that we couldn't pull it off this weekend.
