Top Georgia HS Boys Cross Country Runners In Week Five


It was an extremely great week of racing in Georgia with twelve invitationals held this weekend. Some very fast times were recorded at big meets including Carrollton Orthopaedic and Gwinnett County Championships. Justin Wachtel wore out the course at the Greyhound Invitational down in Jones County posting the fourth-fastest time in the USA this season at 15:03 and Kamari Miller lit up Carrollton going 15:41!  Would it not be great if these two studs matched up against each other this season? Throw in Andrew Jones of North Hall, and like Ted Nugent sang in the late '70s, "It's a Free For All!"
