The Kathryn Black Invitational, held on May 5 & 6, was an truly awesome event!! The competition was fierce and friendly with teams battling to win and at the same time showing respect and appreciation for their opponents’ efforts. The first day initiated and sealed many friendships as all the athletes became invested in each other’s success.
