Some Great Parents Out to Support Their Teams

Saratoga Springs NY Parent Delegation--This is a fun bunch that take their cheering seriously coming out in force to support the team.

Another great bunch of parents come from Hilliard Davidson in Ohio. Nice people who love to support their teams.

Some Mountain View UT parents have real reason to cheer as the boys finished 1st in the Race of Champions and the girls finished 7th. Proudly showing and waving the colors are (fom left) Christy Martensen( daughter-Lyndsey) Merrilee Andrus (daughter-Carolyn) and Rex and Mary Goodwin (son-Sterling). Mountain View boys finished 1st
