Gateway: The Conference That Almost Wasn't

Five short months ago, it appeared as though the Gateway Conference and distance running in the 17 Duval County Public Schools would be no more.  The budget crisis that led the district to cancel funding for these teams was averted through the combined efforts of community, schools, coaches and athletes.

Winter Park Girls, Colonial Boys Take Home Title At Metro Fresh/Soph

On a windy afternoon at Winter Park High School, the Metro area freshmen and sophomore runners took to the Showalter Field course battling the other competitors and the grueling chills from the wind. Both of the races would include fewer runners than a typical meet so entries were unlimited and only the top four from each school would score points for the team with the five, six, and seven runners taking points away from other teams.
