Greensboro Gladiators

Who we are

 We are a Cross Country and Track team entering our 9th year as a team.

Our core values reflect a Christian worldview that strives for excellence in our sport, for integrity in our behavior, and unity as a team to strive for God's kingdom.

Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us..."

Founded in 2017 by Rebekah Johnson, we now have 3 coaches and over 60 athletes.

A Gladiators goal is a well-rounded competitive school program encapsulating fall cross country, winter indoor track for high school, and a spring track & field  program.
