On March 26th, ITFC ventured out to Vincennes Indiana in order to compete in Vincennes University’s Bill Smith Challenge. It was a small meet and weather conditions were less than optimal with it being pretty cold and windy outside. Nonetheless ITFC still ran and gave it our best so props to everyone who came out to compete that day.
