The State meet in Carrollton, GA has always been tough. The Cadets learned on Saturday that it was tougher this year. Why? Less teams competed at State because of the implementation of a Sectional Qualifiers. In addition, the reclassification by GHSA made AAAA even tougher with numerous schools dropping down from higher classifications the year. But the Cadets battled and performed well. Cadets accomplished their goal to be in The Top 10 by placing 9th out of 24 teams competing in the Boys GHSA AAAA 5K. Cadets were led by senior John Dodson. Dodson placed 14th overall with a time of 16:58.15. Go Cadets!
