Phil’s Corner

As we are getting deeper into racing season, I want to remind/encourage you all to keep taking care of yourselves, both physically and mentally! You are all brilliant scholars and athletes, but it is definitely not easy to be doing all that you do. Please take breaks for yourself and also don't forget to simply live! As always, all of our officers and I are here to support you not only as athletes but also as people. If there is ever anything we can do to support you on your journey, do not hesitate to reach out. Keep it up though, you are absolutely amazing!
