Gahanna Christian Academy Athletic Accomplishments and Records Introduction: Below is a list of records and accomplishments listed for each sport at the varsity level (middle school track is the only exception) since the inception of the high school in 1996. (The first graduating class took place in 2000.) I don t have every statistic and record that has ever occurred but I still felt it was important to compile and organize what I had and could find. Please know I tried to be as accurate and objective as possible and that I will update these records as new information presents itself. The goal of this is to create a sense of pride among our current and past athletes as we recognize their hard work and accomplishments. If you have any questions about this or have some information regarding athletic accomplishments, feel free to contact me at tjohnson@ourgca.com. Thank you and Go Eagles!
