Hello Five Hills Track and Field Family!
As we start our 2010 track season, I would like to remind you to take a look at the tips and recipes on the nutrition page. I will be updating the page often and I invite you to share your nutritious recipes with me so I can post them on our website.
Make sure you check back often and look for our smoothie contest coming soon. Time to start thinking of your favorite smoothie recipes!
