GYAC hosts Cross Country Run
by Deanna Mitchener
The Grande Yellowhead Athletic Conference
(GYAC) Cross Country Run was held at
Willmore Park on Friday, October 4.
The night before the big race volunteers were
staking out routes and setting up the tent. Julie
Rothwell, who has been a teacher at HRH for the
past five years, said, "We noticed that there was
no GYAC event being hosted for cross country
so we wanted to try and get some more kids out
and get them interested in running the trails we
have. We decided to host the GYAC Cross
Country event for grades 7, 8 and 9 students,
ages 14 and under."
