Daily Dive: State Champions, record-holders headline All-Metro Track & Field Team

The Atlanta Track Club celebrated an incredible 2025 track and field season with a ceremony earlier this month and recognized this year’s All-Metro Track and Field Team. Included in the group of athletes are 25 state champions and five athletes that set new state records—making this one of the most star-powered group of metro Atlanta standouts in recent years. Three athletes on this list earned their spot in two separate events and deservingly so. Hughes sprinter Maurice Gleaton landed on the All-Metro team for the 100 and 200 meter dash, Starr’s Mill’s field standout Jared Moore made it for shot put and discus and North Cobb’s Jasmine Robinson is represented in both the 100 and 300 meter hurdles.

Gleaton closed out his tremendous varsity career this season by sweeping both the 100 and 200 meter dash and helped Hughes win the boys team Class 5A title. Additionally, Gleaton posted season-best times for the state of Georgia in the 100 (9.98) and 200 (20.63). This is the third-straight year that Gleaton earned a spot on the All-Metro team.

Moore continued his dominance in the throwing events this season and won state titles again in the shot put and discus. His 63-8 and 195-5 were both the No. 1 marks in the state this season and this is his second-straight year of earning an All-Metro selection. While Gleaton (University of Georgia) and Moore (Arkansas State) will be graduating, Robinson will be back next year after earning an All-Metro bid as a junior. This past season, Robinson scored a 39.81 finish in the 300 meters for a new state and national record. She also won the 100 meter hurdles with a 13.22. The other state records set in 2025 were the Buford High School boys’ 4x100m relay (39.81), Oluwatosin Awoleye of South Cobb in the girls’ 800m (2:03.65), and Marietta High School’s girls’ 4x800m relay (9:08.62).

The criteria for all of the athletes selected was based on place at the state meet, season best, and head-to-head competition and Metro-area is defined as the 14 counties touching Fulton, DeKalb or Cobb Counties.
