This past Saturday our Barrow County XC athletes finished out the season competing at the GRPA State Championship at Jackson County!
And they finished strong!
Wes Bramlett finished 7th and Wade Blackburn finished 19th in the 8U Boys race — helping the 8U Boys team finish 3rd in the STATE!
Emmalynn Jones finished 12th, placing at state for the third straight year.
Congratulations to all the xc athletes, way to go coaches and families!
The team got faster. They got tougher. And for nine weeks, 15+ families spent Saturday mornings together, made memories, cheered for each other’s kids, and became a little closer along the way.

We can not wait for next years XC season!
