GJHS Cross-Country

Our kids are growing at every race. These photos are from Centennial Park on Saturday.

What a year this is going to be. There are 20 members of the boys’ class this year. For the first time we will have 4 teams racing this season.

Get outside and get your bodies used to the heat. Acclimatization is a process of slowly exposing yourself to the heat and humidity to reduce the chances of suffering from a heat injury. Start with a short amount of time (30 minutes) for a week, and then increase the time to an hour.
2024-2025 practices start on July 22nd.

Today, the 9th graders are competing in the NW Arkansas 6A Conference Meet. This is their last race of the season. They get to turn in the Wrangler uniforms this week, and begin preparing for a Bulldog uniform.

8th graders competing in the Conference Meet. Last race of the year. These kids have done great things to improve this year. Can’t wait to see them grow more.

We'd like to encourage fans to come out and cheer on our runners in the Annual Springdale Schools Cross Country Invitational this Saturday, October 7th, at Sonora Middle School! Senior Celebration will be at 7:30am with races beginning at 8:30am. There is a $5.00 fee for parking with all money going to support our cross country programs. Best of luck to all of our cross country athletes! Let's GOOOOO!!!

Springdale Meet is this coming Saturday. Come out and watch the athletes run. We will be at Sonora Middle School from 7:30am until 11:00am.

Want to help raise funds for the team? We need volunteers for concessions stand workers on Thursday evening. 5:00to 8:00pm at SHS.

The Wranglers had a great time in Little Rock today. The Arkansas National Guard put on a very fun event, and the weather was nice. We think the course might have been a little shorter than 2 miles, but a race is a race. Plus, who doesn’t like riding the min-bus and stopping for food?
