First was a trip to Hayfield where the Atoms played hard but couldn't hold down the Hawks. Wednesday was a reschedule with Falls Church. The Atoms again played hard but the Jaguars were too much for the Atoms. Match three was Justice and the Atoms were spent from the previous two matches as they fell to the Wolves Thursday evening.

Thursday proved to be a match of attrition for the Atoms as they played hard but didn't have much for the Wolves.
Outdoor Track got back on the rubber surface with a trip to Hayfield for their first meet back from break. The meet was an opportunity for the Atoms to get their legs under them as they prepare for the upcoming district championship meet in May.

Atoms Boosters Concession Stand Help
Attention Parents! Volunteers are needed to sell concessions at games throughout the year. We welcome any and all parents to volunteer but when parents of a particular sport work a game, a portion of concessions sales directly benefit that team. If you are not able to help directly at home games, there are many ways you can get involved with the Atoms Athletics Boosters by attending our monthly meetings or being a team liaison. Thank you for your support for Atom’s Athletics!
For questions about concession stand sign ups, contact Odessa Murray.
