Five wrestlers from the Gunnison High School (GHS) wrestling team are participating and competing in this year’s cross country season to get prepared mentally and physically for the upcoming wrestling season. Last year only one wrestler participated in cross country, wrestler Damyon Funk. This year four other wrestlers joined Damyon on the cross country team. Miles Harris, Malchijah Perez, Zach Benson, and Julian Patrick. The reason these five wrestlers are participating in cross country is so they can physically and mentally condition themselves for the upcoming wrestling season. By having wrestlers join the cross country program, it helps both the cross country and wrestling programs grow and get more attention. When asked about why he did cross country over football, Miles said,“to stay in shape and to focus on wrestling and to get everything moving by running long distances”
