Dear Ash Fork Community,
We hope you are doing well. Thank you for your continued support and for trusting us with your children—your encouragement makes a big difference for our team. We appreciate the energy, time, and positive attitudes you show our runners as they run around the community. The hand waves and honks don’t go unnoticed.
This has been an amazing season for the Ash Fork Cross Country Team. Our runners consistently show great attitudes, and many have improved their 2-mile times by up to two minutes. Almost all runners now finish their 2-mile runs in 20 minutes or less—a personal best for several athletes. Our JV runners look especially strong, with many times in the 16-minute range and under.
Grade-level roster highlights this year:
3rd grade: Rowdy, Roan (2 runners)
4th grade: Colin, James, Anna (3 runners)
5th grade: Violet, Saliece, Serenity, Jane, Kershaw (5 runners)
6th grade: Maritza, Amilia, Dean Jr., Sebastian (5 runners)
7th grade: Poppy (1 runner)
8th grade: Arileigh, AJ, Davian, Jeremy (4 runners)
Celebrations from the year so far… We have so much to celebrate—this has been an outstanding season for our runners!
Our largest cross-country team ever: 20 runners, and for the first time, we competed as a full team!
JV girls team (Amilia, Jane, Serenity, Maritza, and Saliece) earned 2nd place at the Sinagua Middle School Meet on 9/24/2026 — congratulations to these dedicated athletes!
AJ set a new Ash Fork boys’ record at the Park’s Meet with a 2-mile time of 12:55, placing 5th out of 43 runners — an incredible performance.
AJ, Davian, Colin, Rowdy, and Roan’s team placed 3rd at the Ash Fork Endurance Relay — great teamwork and determination.
Our runners’ hard work and sportsmanship are truly inspiring. Please celebrate these wins with them.
