Dear Storm Family,

 

I want to thank everyone who came to the meet this past weekend, This was the first time that the Northridge Pacers timed using Finishlynx system, I was working in the timing tent to help them learn the system, while we had a few hic-ups along the way, the few delays we ran into was not because of the timing, but rather other issues. I want to thank everyone for their patience, these timing systems are very technical.
