Join Mercer County Trails Association and the Grove City Athletics Club in celebrating and informing the female athlete. This event’s catalyst was a NY Times article on Mary Cain, a runner in the Nike Oregon Project.
Amy Perman-Javens has been an amateur and professional champion in her life-time. She’s participated in high school and college athletics. She’s raised three athletic daughters. Join us in welcoming Amy to speak to the community on the topic of Empowering the Female Athlete.
This seminar will have three portions:
1) The first is a presentation by Amy, followed by a short recess.
2) The second portion will be a question & answer period with a panel of local experts in various fields of athletics, medicine, nutrition, and health.
3) After the Q & A ends, if you still have questions that you would like to ask directly, there will be meet & greet stations with some of the experts.
Please join us at the Mercer High School cafeteria. Doors open at 4:30 with the seminar starting at 5:00pm.
Hope to see you there!

Greetings Grove City Athletics Club (GCAC) members for 2019!
We are now doing a membership drive for renewing your GCAC membership for 2020. Here is the link:
https://secure.getmeregistered.com/GroveCityAthleticsClub20
Some Notes:
1- A Family or Individual Child/Adult membership would make a great Christmas present!!! This renewal is for all club events for 2020! NOTE: This includes both 2020 elementary spring track and summer/fall cross country programs.
2- The membership prices are the SAME for the second consecutive year, but this year you must pay the small online registration processing fee. In past years, the club has paid for all of these processing fees. Please remember we are all volunteers, this is an IRS non-profit organization, and we do NOT require any fundraising across the year (which is quite painful for parents ;)
3- Additional monetary donations are always appreciated and remember - it is Tax-Deductible!
4- NOTE: you cannot transfer an individual membership to a family/household membership later in the calendar year. We recommend a family/household membership where all household members are registered if you think another household member may be interested in joining the club later this calendar year! If doing a family/household membership, we recommend listing all family/household members.
5- We need to do our membership drive now to renew our Road Runner's Club of America (RRCA - https://www.rrca.org) membership to cover our general liability insurance and retain our non-profit status. We also need to renew our USA Track & Field (USATF - https://usatf.org) club membership.
