Athletics Hall of Fame

Shannon Boyle '03 and Sarah Rapp '11 were inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame during Catholic Schools Week. Shannon was a trailblazer as a student-athlete at Gibbons. She joined the boy's golf team because there was no girls team and ended up being a three-time letter winner and three-time scholar athlete during her high school career. Sarah was inducted for Cross Country and Track & Field, where she was a three-time state champion runner and led the Crusaders to four state championship titles during her Gibbons Cross Country career.

The women’s 4x800 indoor relay team finished 1st at States, breaking an NCHSAA record with a time of 9:18.21 - the third fastest in the country this year.
