Nabrina Wiedemeier
nwiedemeier@hotmail.com  (Contact only for uniform or shoe questions, please.)
One of the most difficult and important jobs within the club, the uniform coordinator is Ms. Wiedemeier.  Before an athlete can compete as a Flyer, he/she needs to see Nabrina to get a uniform.  (See her early for the best selection!)  A uniform deposit is required to obtain a uniform kit, but the deposit will be returned or shredded when the uniform is checked in at the end of the season.  Also, if you need a pair of shoes for your track and/or field events, Ms. Wiedemeier, as the coordinator of our Shoe Exchange program, has many pairs available in a wide variety of sizes.  Most of the shoes are in new or like-new condition and can be purchased at low prices or exchanged for another pair in good condition.  Contact Nabrina for more details.
