OLD BUSINESS:

JU Running Lab – Todd O’Donnell reported the most recent numbers and statistics from the running lab. The numbers were similar to the previous reports. Again, it was brought up about the use of advertising to local coaches to increase the awareness for high school teams. Todd also reported that some of the lab graduate assistants were graduating, however the assistant we are funding will be returning. With our budgeting period approaching in August, the finance committee and board will need to review and discuss the effectiveness and cost benefits of the Running Lab to the club. Will need to focus on whether the money being spent is benefiting our members and the running community.

Run, Jump, Throw 2018 –  No report was submitted as event coordinator Angela Harris was absent. Event is scheduled for this Saturday (May 5th) at Jean Ribault High School. This event will be targeted towards elementary students as an introduction into track and field.
