Shoutout to all of our former Lawrence runners on an incredible middle school and high school track season!

We are so proud to see all of your hard work, dedication, and determination paying off. It’s amazing watching former Lions continue to compete, improve, and represent their schools with pride.

Good luck to all of our middle school athletes competing at All City this week — run fast, compete hard, and have fun!

And best of luck to all of our high school athletes as you head into Regionals and State competitions. Keep chasing your goals and finishing strong.

No matter where you compete, you’ll always be part of the Lawrence Running Club family. Once a Lion, always a Lion!

RUN IT FORWARD
Marathon Kids is a non-profit organization whose mission is to battle childhood in activity. One of the ways they do that is by providing resources to schools and running clubs like ours. The roaring runners utilize them for the badges used for tracking laps, the software that tracks the laps and the awards as students hit different milestones. They’re asking for donations so that they can continue to provide resources to the more than 450,000 students they serve. Any amount helps and if we all chip in some, it can go a long way and we would love to support an organization that has supported us for 10 years. If you were willing to donate anything, we are asking for at least $1. We would greatly appreciate it and donations can be turned into mr. Janzing, Mr. Dohlman or the front office.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I want to sincerely apologize for the late notice regarding today’s Running Club cancellation. We were just informed this evening about a track meet taking place, which unfortunately conflicts with our scheduled time.

We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we adjust to this change.

Our final Running Club gathering will take place on May 13, and we’re looking forward to ending the season on a strong and positive note with all of our runners.

Thank you for your continued support!

Shoutout to this former LION! 🦁

Nathan was with us from the very beginning, and it’s been incredible watching his journey unfold. From Lawrence Elementary to becoming a standout XC & Track athlete in high school, he’s now carrying that momentum into college at Hesston College.

This past weekend, Nathan competed at the Continental Athletic Conference Championship in Miramar, FL—and brought home the win in the 3K steeplechase! 🏆

What an amazing accomplishment. All of Lawrence Elementary is cheering you on, Nathan! Remember… it all starts with that first step 😉
