School Records
Some of the great performances in the history of Republic athletics are listed here. You can skip right to a sport by selecting it from the list. Keep in mind that these records are incomplete, but this is the best information I’ve been able to gather over the years. I am open to corrections or additions. If you can help me out with any gaps (including first names I don’t have listed), I’d appreciate the help. You can email me any information you have.
