ATLANTA – November 7, 2018 – 42 young standout runners from the metro-Atlanta area are receiving top honors from Atlanta Track Club. The Club announced the 21 boys and girls selected for the Powerade All-Metro Cross Country Team today, honoring local runners with standout performances both at this past weekend’s GHSA State Cross Country Championships and throughout the season.
“Each fall we’re inspired by the phenomenal performances of metro Atlanta’s young cross country runners,” said Rich Kenah, Atlanta Track Club’s Executive Director. “These athletes are the future of Running City USA, and it’s our honor to have them be a part of the 2018 Powerade All-Metro Cross Country Team.”
Beginning today, parents, fans, coaches and fellow athletes will vote to determine selections to the Powerade All-Metro 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams.
