We had a great time at the 3rd Annual Spartan Fishing Tournament!

The event was held at La Siesta Resort and Marina in Islamorada.
We spent the weekend with approximately 110 parents, students, faculty, staff, alumni, sponsors and people from the community.

This was our largest and most successful tournament yet!
The incredible amount of support and participation keeps growing every year and we are able to provide more help to Pace families through the Spartans 4 Spartan program!!
Of course the tournament also helps to support the Pace Angles Club... I invite all of you to participate in the club as well.

Be sure to check out the Anglers Club website with all of the details and pictures: www.paceanglersclub.com
I will be updating the site as I get more pictures so feel free to send me pictures that you took.
