About:
The Grand Island Cross Country (GIXC) Track & Field team showed incredible leadership and community spirit by lending a hand to support their modified program—GIXC’s future!
Varsity athletes from both the girls’ and boys’ teams stepped up to mentor and assist younger runners during their home modified cross country meet. Upperclassmen positioned themselves around the course—directing, encouraging, and cheering on athletes from eight visiting teams as they navigated the course.
In total, approximately 75 seventh- and eighth-grade runners per race took part in this exciting event, making it a memorable night of competition and camaraderie.
With only two races on the schedule, it was a quick but meaningful evening—just over two hours of teamwork, leadership, and true GIXC pride. What a fantastic way to build a strong foundation for the future and inspire the next generation of Grand Island harriers!
