Griffin Nation-Athletic News

This Week in Athletics

Dear Griffin Nation,

There are so many great things to love about participating in athletic endeavors, no matter which sport. We work together with teammates and coaches towards the same goals. We push ourselves and get pushed by coaches to work hard and improve our skills through practice and competition. We get to see how the work we put in during the off-season or at practice improves us as individuals and as teams. The joy we feel in a big victory is celebrated with teammates and the disappointment we feel in a tough loss can fuel us for future challenges in sport and in life. As coaches, we don't want to see our student athletes and teams come up short, but we are buoyed by the knowledge that tough losses do help us grow. We encourage our families and student athletes to celebrate victories but also have conversations about what they learn from adversity.

Here are the team scores, records, and upcoming games for GHNO Athletics:
