It is Spring Break!
Monta Vista track and field will be holding practices at the MV track Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 3pm. Please keep in mind that League Finals will be the Wednesday and Friday of the week we return from break so we don’t want to let up during Spring Break. We hope to see you at practice!
