Congratulations to our Highlanders who were named GMC Athletes of the Week!

Riley was a huge support to her team on Friday at Sycamore by performing full time duties. She competed in 4 events: 4x100, 4x200, 4x400 and 200m. All of the relays placed in the top 8. Not only is Riley a very versatile sprinter, but her willingness to sacrifice for her team shows great leadership quality.

EJ was the third leg of the school record setting 4x800 relay at the Sycamore meet. He ran a new personal best of 2:01.7. A couple hours later, EJ placed 6th in the 3200m in a time of 10:11.30, which was another massive personal best.
