Unfortunately the Desert Solstice Charter Meet was cancelled in the middle of the girls open race and the course was evatucated due to severe lightning - saftely first.  The event will not be rescheduled this season and from what I have been hearing......it sounded like it was a pretty aweseome event!  The listed results are for completed results only.

The 7 AM start time for the Fountain Hills Invitational was a great time to start a meet - and why not - the athletes are use to getting up at rediculous hours all summer long.  And the breeze blowing the fountain waters onto the course now and then just added some "ahhh" moments to the morning!
