Colts had a great performance at prelims. They are working hard and have an amazing attitude! The smile on their faces was very cool as they received their triangles...always a moment that is never forgotten! Weather has been great...quite cool in the morning, but turning into a beautiful day! We are very proud of our COLTS!
