Golden Bear pride was on full display at our home course on September 8, 2026! Both our Junior High Girls and Boys teams brought home 1st place victories at the Golden Bear Invitational! The JH boys took 1st place with 31 points (a huge 13 points ahead of Celina!) The JH girls secured 1st place with 32 points in an absolute thriller (just 2 points ahead of Celina!)
To cap off an incredible meet, so many of our runners crushed their personal bests and set new PRs!
A massive THANK YOU to our amazing Bryan Bears community. The cheers from our families, friends, and fellow student-athletes made all the difference. We are so proud to run for this town—go Bears!
