Wow, how close could this one possibly get? Everything was on the line in the final event of the 5A meet and it came down to Pope not qualifying for finals in the 4x400 (1 spot out) and Miller Grove doing what they absolutely had to do, which was comfortably placing 5th, scoring 4 GIANT points, securing the 5A Girls state title. Of course, there was much more involved in how it led up to 4x400m relay. Northside Warner Robins did everything possible Saturday to make it a horse race as their best athletes and relay squads won 5 events putting a scare into Miller Grove and Pope.
This class is going to be very tight if things hold up on paper (which they rarely do, and why we run the races) A big miscue, False Start, DQ could cost the 5A team title. The players are Pope, which is strong all around. Miller Grove who has incredible speed and trackstar Tiffany Flynn. North Springs whose real scoring ops will be the sprints, hurdles and relays. New Manchester will rely on their speed, relays, hurdles and horizontal hops. Northside WR has Cassondra Hall whose the favorite to take the 100/200, and strong relays. Forest Park's strengths are on the Field and Hurdles.
Better late, than never, here are the AAAAA Region 'Athletes of the Week'. Breshhawrd Cooper elevated the Jaguars to the Region 8 team title by sweeping the 200/400 Finals clocking a 21.96/49. Cooper also was a key leg on both winning Cedar Shoals' relay teams. Tiffany Flynn is no stranger to being selected as an 'AOW' and her 'Triple' helped drive Miller Grove to the team title in Region 5. Flynn owned the horizontal jumps going 40-1/19-0 then she ripped out a 14.30 in the Finals of the 100 Hurdles.
Here is a brief Recap of the AAAAA Girls Region meets. Miller Grove, Loganville, Pope, New Manchester and Northside Warner Robins will take many athletes to Sectionals. In Region 4 Forest Park pulled a stunner tieing host school Starrs Mill for 1st place.

Miller Grove has not competed since the Sandlapper Classic held in South Carolina and Pope HS closed the gap considerably with their elite athletes performances at the Coaches Invitational. North Springs is a strong 3rd followed by Lakeside Evans, Starrs Mill and New Manchester. These rankings were calculated by scoring the rankings as a meet. We scored 12 deep for individuals and 12 deep for relays. For example, for individuals 1st place received 12 points for their team, on down to 1 point for 12th place.
