Weekly Review 10/12: M.S. State Meet With Big Performances

Brooke Barefoot-Archie had the top performance of the meet at Middle School State

I love how the schedule worked out this year. This extra week in between Asics and Coach Wood, the two biggest high school meets in Georgia, meant that we could take a week where the middle school kids got to be the stars of the week. There was some high school action, but most of kids took the week off in between Asics and Coach Wood. This meant the middle school kids got to shine. This was their moment and they went for it.

For those who have never paid much attention to the middle school state meet, there's a lot going on there. Bleckley County does a fantastic job hosting and the kids all seem to have a blast. There are several divisions to keep track of and I think that's perfect for a middle school state meet. There's plenty of time for these kids to get into the massive races like Asics and Coach Wood one they're in high school. Having them race in a smaller setting seems much more fitting for their first introduction to a state meet. It also keeps things as fair as possible in a sport like middle school cross country. It's a taste of what's to come. So many high school stars got their start at this meet, so pay attention to the names near the top as you'll probably be seeing a lot more of them in the years to come.
