Reminder of our Fall Sports Awards Night on Thursday night at 7PM in the Old Gym!
- Each coach will provide a recap of the season, announce letterwinners, and present awards to his/her athletes.
- Athletes are welcome to dress however they would like, but I would encourage 'nice casual dress', as pictures will be taken for the yearbook, media, etc.
- No meal will be provided.
- This event is open to the public!
*We had a great Fall season of Groton Tiger Athletics and we are excited to recognize and honor our athletes! See you all on Thursday night!
