The New Garden Friends School Bears are state champions! The NGFS cross-country team brought home the NCISAA 1A State Championship following an outstanding performance at McAlpine Creek Park Cross Country Course in Charlotte, NC.

The Bears demonstrated determination, teamwork, and incredible individual effort throughout the championship race, with four runners finishing in the top 12. That depth and consistency helped propel NGFS to the top of the podium and secure another state title for the program.

Representing the Bears at the state championship were:

• Alice LeRoux

This championship marks the second cross-country state title for NGFS in just three years, a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our student-athletes and coaches.
