5A ROWs for week ending 8-30 (as well as 1A-4A) got delayed a bit by food poisoning, but they are coming...Dunwoody's Ansley Heavern and Allatoona's Colton Page were selected this week after their performances at Berry and Saucony Battle of Atlanta.  

Week 2 Ending 8-30 ROWs were both very deserving of this honor and happened at Saucony Battle of Atlanta. North Oconee's Tyler Jones was the overall Boys winner in 16:11 and Eagles Landing star Betty Jackson took 8th place in 20:32. 

Some intense competition was answered at Saucony Battle of Atlanta as 1A Private ROWs Colson Hagan of Hebron Christian and Nicole Fegans from Landmark Christian showed their mettle.
