This past weekend, the Guilderland Cross Country (GIXC) team ran with heavy hearts as they dedicated their race to the memory of a friend and classmate who was tragically lost in an accident. The event became more than just a competition—it was a moment of healing and remembrance.
What made this experience even more special was the overwhelming support from other schools, who joined in by signing a poster in honor of the teammate and helping GIXC through the healing journey. This gesture of solidarity highlighted the unique bond within the cross country community, where athletes come together to uplift one another in times of need.
It was a beautiful reminder that cross country is more than just a sport—it’s a family. The unity and compassion shown this weekend exemplified the strength and spirit that defines the GIXC team and the larger XC community.
