The Atlantic Trojans and their cross-country team will host their annual meet on Thursday. With October being breast cancer awareness month, this one will be a little different than most as it will be a pink out. However, head coach Daniel Vargason says this one means a little more.

Although a quick decision for Vargason and the program,  he said it was a no-brainer to show support for the Kelley family.

Vargonson stated that there was no financial goal for the event, but merchandise will be available and the team will also be taking in-person donations.

For those looking to add a wardrobe item, unfortunately, they will not be unavailable at the meet. However, coach Vargason says there are plenty of football shirts still available.

In the true spirit of community, all of Atlantic’s pink outs have been combined into a single effort and thus far have raised over $1,700.

As pink outs stand for a little something extra for the program this year, Vargason said it was also an excellent teaching opportunity.

The Meet at the Nishna Hills Golf Club will start at 4:30 pm.
