Team Norris Athlete Racing Winter/Spring 2023!

From January to May 2023, dozens of Team Norris athletes raced! Each of these athletes trained hard and took a chance on themselves on race day. No matter the outcome, that is always an accomplishment!

This article should be prefaced with a shout-out to all other Team Norris athletes, who did not race due to injury rehab, illness, season of life, or personal preference. Each and every athlete I coach is amazing and I am so proud of everyone.
