Golden Eagle 8th Grader Brantley Blair started off right where he left off last spring when he was the state runner up in the 2400 Meter Run at the Middle State Championships by smashing the school and meet record winning in a very impressive 3,000 meters time of 9:26.5.

Heritage Christian was 3rd with 98 points. In all the Lady Eagles posted 5 impressive Top 30 finishes including 3 in the Top 20. 8th Graders Verity Bishop and Lucy Devers led the way coming in 11th and 12th.
