Four dedicated athletes from Gregory Gorilla High School—Max Cook, Luke Stukel, Pierce Stukel, and Fin Adams—have earned the incredible opportunity to compete at the Nike Outdoor Nationals in Eugene, Oregon. These boys have worked tirelessly all season, pushing themselves on and off the track, and now they’ve qualified to represent their community in the prestigious Sprint Medley relay on Friday, June 20th. While they usually compete as part of their high school team, this event falls outside the regular season, so they’ll be participating independently, supported by their families and local supporters.

Traveling from South Dakota to Oregon is a significant undertaking, and the costs for lodging and travel add up quickly. Five parents will be accompanying the boys to ensure they have the support and guidance they need throughout the trip. The funds raised will go directly toward covering hotel stays, transportation, and other essential travel expenses, making it possible for these athletes to focus on their performance and represent Gregory with pride. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings them one step closer to the starting line and helps create memories that will last a lifetime.

Your support means the world to these young athletes and their families. By helping with travel and lodging costs, you’re not just funding a trip—you’re investing in their dreams, hard work, and the spirit of community that brought them this far. Thank you for considering a donation and for cheering on Max, Luke, Pierce, and Fin as they take on this national stage.
