Ready to roar in 2026!
We’re back and building strong momentum for what’s shaping up to be a huge 2026 campaign across all teams!
We’re incredibly excited to have our Women’s Program returning, with a team entered for the 2026 season — a major milestone for the club and our community.
Our men have already hit the ground running, putting in the work early to ensure a strong rebound and a quick bounce-back this year.
2026 also marks the first year of our new five-year Strategic Plan, and we’re already seeing the benefits, including an expanded committee and the introduction of a new sub-committee model designed to strengthen leadership, engagement, and delivery across the club.
We need everyones support as we prepare for a massive season ahead.
See you on the track!
Go Lions!
