Fellow Runners,
Back on June 7th, David Gerner ran blazing fast times in the 5000-meter and 1500-meter events at the Golden West track meet.
On Saturday at the Pride Meet in San Francisco, Michael Guss broke 22 minutes for the 5K. He also ran the 400- and 800-meter events.
Up in Olympic Valley, Megon Noble and David Gerner ran the 11K and 18K races, respectively, at the Broken Arrow Skyrace.
Out in the mountains of Wyoming, Chris Dalton and Ed Ballerini tackled the Bighorn trail run. Ed earned an age-group prize at the 50K, while Chris finished the extremely hilly 52-miler in under 12 hours.
On Sunday, Jennifer Desideri, Julia Croteau, and Elizabeth Heinberger completed the Rock Tahoe half marathon.

GVH donated $525 to each XC team at Woodland HS and Pioneer HS as part of our 2023 program to support local running programs. The coaches came to our Saturday morning run to express thanks and tell us how the donations have been used. Last year, Alex, the Woodland coach, used the 2022 donation to buy a pop-up tent with the school logo which is wildly popular with the XC and track team.
