DEDICATION AND SPECIAL THANKS

To all the partners who worked long hours, and sacrificed their own time and resources to make our throwing facility improvements a reality.

James, Pat and Dimitry for sacrificing a sunday during mid-winter break to shovel and roll out 36 tons of fire rock in the rain. You three young men will never know how much I appreciated your help that day!

To Ed Keyes and Son Concrete for donating their time and labor to form up and pur our discus pit. We also want to give a big throwers "BAAAAHP" to Corliss Resources for donating the concrete for both the discus and shot put areas.

Thanks to Dale Markey and Home Depot for the donation of the framing materials for the shot put sector enclosure!

Julie, Charlie and Randy from our District's Maintenance Department for the immense support both before and throughout the season. We know how busy your schedules are and we are humbly appreciative of your work.

To Paul Ruston, head girls coach who encouraged this project and the vision every step of the way. Thanks to Kevin Hanis, head boys coach for the late night run to Home Depot.

Matt Crook for our template for the sunken discus ring....you're a winner!

My gratitude to all of you for your work and support, may we reap the rewards in the future of the coming generations of Raider Throwers!

--------- T. D.
