There were approximately 300 youth participants from more than 50 local communities in attendance, and over 50 State Meet volunteers, including many PRPS members and their families. Thank you to our members, Jeff Hall, Helen Griffith, Carmen Williams, Jeff Williams, Georgiann Davis, Sue Canniff, Dale Dalton, Bob Ayer, Wendy Jo Hartsock, Bob Griffith, Karen Burke, Tracy Robert, and Emily Schnellbaugh, who volunteered at the State Final Meet and made sure that the day's events ran smoothly.
