We want to take a moment to recognize a now “former” Grand Junction High School Tiger, because once a Tiger, always a Tiger. 🐅

Congratulations to Haydn Bunnell for winning the Class 4A state championship in discus at the Colorado State Track & Field Championships! Haydn also recently signed with Colorado School of Mines to continue her track and field career.

We are proud of all you’ve accomplished, Haydn, and can’t wait to see what’s next. Congratulations!
