OUR Invite

Posted on May 4, 2019 by James Kurtzweil

Every year, we are able to host a special invite, the John R. Davis Titan Invitational. For the past 48 years, GBS has been hosting many schools in the area. Since 2001, we have named the invite after John Davis, head track coach and football coach for many years. Over the years, on his track we’ve celebrated some of our best moments. This year was no different. At this year’s Titan Invite, both the Varsity and Frosh/Soph teams finished in second place after New Trier (Frosh/Soph tied with Wheeling for second). At the distance level, our Varsity finished in third after New Trier and Loyola Academy.

Some Highlights

James Kurtzweil (Jr) set his personal record by 21-seconds in the 3200m run! James finished the 3200 in 10:14.84.
