Joshua Brickell
It has been 4 years since a GHSA/GISA male has qualified for Nationals, when Joshua Brickell of Peachtree Ridge took 2nd posting a 14:49 and Brad Hort of McIntosh 6th at 14:59. The best effort anyone has had since was Kaleb McLeod of Trinity Christian back in 14th last Fall. Here are 3 of our best hopes to Q' for Nationals this Saturday at McAlpine Park, also will conditions hold up (smoke) for optimal racing. NC Wildfires Some hopeful news is that 7 of the top 10 from 2015 have graduated, opening up some spots...
Jacob McLeod of Trinity Christian- Its almost a toss up between McLeod and Kennedy. But, Jacob ran away with the Meet of Champions, as Kennedy shut it down around the 2 Mile and dnf the race. McLeod will also be seeking to better his older brother's 14th place finish in 2015. McLeod was dominant at Coach Wood, GISA and MOC. He has been getting coached up by Ron Clanton (formerly of Peachtree Ridge- BRICKELL's coach as well.) and Evan Winegarner.
