GISA AA State Varsity Championship

Brookwood ran in the GISA AA Varsity State Championship meet today in Macon, Georgia.  The meet was held at Wesleyan College instead of the traditional site at the Children's Home.  The Wesleyan College was considerably more difficult as evidenced by the fact that none of the boys broke the 17:00 barrier in either division.  The weather was cold and windy unlike most of the races Brookwood has run in.

Despite the difficult conditions Brookwood's boys finished 2nd Overall with Stephen Robbins (4th in 18:10) and Alex Carico (7th in 18:48) making the All-State Team.  Daniel Fortner (16th in 19:29), Will Carico (17th in 19:31), Hampton Worthey (37th in 21:03), William Harrer (41st in 21:24), and Campbell Beadles (45th in 21:35) also performed well.  You can see all the results here.

Great job teams! I predict a close finish at state in the boys race between Heritage and Brookwood.  Heritage raced on the state course earlier this year.  Their results can be viewed on this website. 

Also, we had a new school join our region this year.  Welcome Grace Christian from Bainbridge, Georgia!  Grace has made an immediate splash in cross country finishing 2nd overall in boys team standings behind the strong running of brothers Kyle (3rd overall in 18:26) and Chase Harris (2nd overall in 17:35).  Their little brother Caleb (a 5th grader) finished 5th at the Middle School State Championship Meet.  Grace Christian 8th grade girl, Perra Harrell, won the Middle School State Meet.
