  • 16'6", 16' and 15'6" Region 8-AAA doesn't disappoint. Scott and Herndon advance to state

    What an amazing day it must have been at Winder Barrow stadium. Three athletes over 15\' in the vault and two over 16\'.

When number one all time, number 3 all time and number 5 all time, you expect a classic match up and these young men delivered. Region 8-AAA will be well represented in the vault at state.

  • Bumper Crop of Young Girls Distance Runners Produce Record Times

    Some would call this the year of the girls distance runners. Already this season, two girls have broken into the all time top 10 list in the 3200 and a freshman out of Dekalb County has posted a 5:01 1600m time. It takes a sub 11:13 to make it into the top 5 on the girls 3200 list and a sub 5:13 to make it into the top 5 in the 1600 rankings. Two freshman have already run 5:01.88 and 5:10.11 in the 1600m, a sophomore sits atop the leader board in the 800m with a 2:12.59 and two girls have broken 11:00 in the 3200.
