The UH Hilo Cross Country Team is facing disbandment from the athletic program at UH-Hilo due to budget cuts and being considered as "less meaningful." This team is more than just a sport; it was an unforgettable time in our lives and it should continue to touch the lives of runners for years to come. Please help preserve the team by showing your support for this program.

im still reading every single comment and the stories about what this team meant to people are honestly heartbreaking. im talking to some of the coaches now to see what our next move is so stay tuned.

i honestly cant believe how much momentum we have right now. seeing everyone come together for this team is super moving and i know the current runners feel it too.
