2024 Relays Benefit Track Team

By | September 5, 2024

The coaching staff for the Apex High School Track team were invited to our meeting this evening. We presented the coaches with the proceeds from the Apex Lions Relays this past April.

Since 1979 the Apex Lions have partnered with the Apex High School Track team to host the Apex Lions Relays. Over the years it has grown from a dozen teams to over 50 teams mostly from all across North Carolina and even some teams from surrounding states.

This past April we had a fantastic event with terrific weather. The Apex Lions run the concession booth and sell T-Shirts as well. The proceeds are donated directly to the Track program.

Coach / Athletic Director Roy Cooper has officially retired now but arrangements have been made for him to continue his involvement in this event next year (and hopefully beyond). Gilles is the new mens track coach and Gina is the new women’s track coach. They both look forward to carrying on the tradition of quality in the program and building upon the legacy they have been given. We look forward to working with all three coaches to make next year’s relays an even bigger success!
