Gus Bannon Cross Country Scholarship ($500 CMR/$500 GFH)
The Gus Bannon Scholarship is being established this year to honor the memory of one of cross country’s greatest fans. Gus was just a pup when he became a Bannon in the fall of 2004. He traveled near and far to attend the meets of his family members while they ran for CMR. Gus proudly wore a CMR Cross Country t-shirt and showed enthusiasm and support for all team members. In spirit, Gus continues to be a strong supporter of CMR and GFH Cross Country.
