‘Girls On The Run’ Team Prove Togetherness Wins!

These dedicated athletes prove that winning can be achieved on and off of the track!

By Angela Seders, Principal

The Girls on the Run team from McGregor had an amazing season. Practices were held twice per week where the girls completed lessons and activities on topics such as friendship, empathy, support, and joy. The team also set individual lap goals and would work towards reaching them at each practice. There were many additional highlights from this season as well.

The girls worked together to write kind and encouraging notes for children in the pediatric unit at Aultman Hospital. They also partnered with Ultimate Jet, a private jet charter company based at the Akron/Canton Airport. The employees at Ultimate Jet donated money so that stuffed animals and cozy blankets could be purchased and delivered to the hospital with the notes.

This team of girls demonstrated great leadership qualities and strength at practice throughout the season. It was always common to hear the girls cheering each other on, and to see them trying their best! The McGregor team showed up for their big end-of-the-year race and they were all ready to do their best despite some rainy weather. We are so proud of you all! Way to go girls!

We would also like to thank all of our coaches that made this season possible: Mrs. Adams, Ms. Wilgus, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Piccari, and Mrs. Reinhart.
