WHEREAS, during the 2025-2026 season, the Baldwin, Summerour, and adult teams collectively known as Norcross Running participated in Global Running Day 2025, and Baldwin Elementary hosted a highly successful fall program, averaging 80-90 runners each Friday morning at 7:00 a.m.; and

WHEREAS, both Baldwin and Summerour Juniors capped off the season with an out-of-state trip to Louisville, Kentucky, to compete in the Middle School Nationals 2025; and
