Well dudes, the Neuqua Valley fun(d)-raiser was a blast.

Typical of a suburban-Chicago powerhouse team, the squad has well over 200 boys & girls. For an hour last night the gang circled the track for the better of the team, but the event was about more than just raising a few bucks for the team. It was about having fun and getting excited about the possibility of defending their national title.

With great teams like York and Naperville North just a few miles away and other great teams throughout the country it is going to be an exciting fall for sure. I can't wait to see some epic battles unfold on the grass this fall.

See you dudes in St Louis this week at the Fleet Feet St Louis Kickoff, and remember, it's up to you guys to tell me where the truck should go so send in those requests!

Take it easy dudes,

Chris
