The Warwick Valley VAULT BARN

IT WAS “BIG-FRIDAY” at the Flying Circus VAULT BARN all day…as our College Alumni continued to soar from their short run approaches and our Warwick Valley Central High School athletes vaulted their real bars in their first intra-squad VAULT MEET of the INDOOR SEASON . The college/alumni athletes were impressive…better run mechanics…better posture…stronger and more focused than ever. They are meeting the challenge of the next level of sport. It was fun being back together and we will schedule 2-3 more COLLEGE DAYS during the Winter Holiday break. THANK YOU all for coming Back-to-the-Barn Wednesday and today!
