Arneshia Hardee and Shayla Cook led Telfair to their 1st XC State title.
One who pays attention to A Public, had to notice Area 2's Girls results. Telfair, with a team average of 22:10... Normally, one would assume the course was short or not legit. But, on 2nd glance it should have been a wakeup call for Gordon Lee to be ready for a race.
Shayla Cook earned Overall Runnerup honors
Watching runners come out of the horseshoe on Loop 1.. Telfair was for real. They pulled off the upset, by having more depth from 2-5. They did not worry about Gracie O'Neal upfront, but ran their race, with Shayla Cook Overall runnerup in 22:20 and Arneshia Hardee 5th at 23:03.
Grace O'Neal is just a sophomore, and could win alot more State titles in the next 3 years.
Gordon Lee secured 2nd on the team Podium just holding off Towns County. Gracie O'Neal had went sub 20: this Fall, and she had a strong race taking the Individual title in 20:23, which is a solid time any class for a female at Carrollton.
