TESTIMONIAL:
Thank you for sending Kamau Sullivan to speak to the IHM Track Team. The
kids were impressed with his stories, and they learned about the triple jump
(many of them had never heard of it). He inspired the kids to work hard and
succeed in any goal they choose.
If you ever have any clinics during the season, let me know. Best of luck to
you and the Invaders this season!
