Shirts

In 2011 we ordered men's and women's athletic fit shirts. Unfortunately, many people ended up with shirts that were too small. Many of you were able to exchange them for a larger size. This year we ordered Men's Sizes only. So remember if you are a women's S, you would mostly likely be a Men's XS, etc. Remember to register BEFORE 10/1 to get a shirt!
