No. 1 Woodward Academy impresses

In boys Class AAA, Woodward Academy knocked St. Pius X off the top spot by winning the Battle of Atlanta in Hampton. The War Eagles impressed by defeating not only the Golden Lions but also Class AAAAA No. 1 McIntosh, No. 5 Union Grove, Class AAAAAA ranked teams Wheeler and Harrison and several other ranked teams from various classifications.

In the girls race at Hampton, McIntosh took the team title and, consequently, gets the nod at No. 2 in Class AAAAA, pushing Lakeside-Evans, which finished third in the Battle of Atlanta, to No. 3. Winder-Barrow moved up to No. 4 after a strong showing (fifth place) in Hampton. St. Pius X took over the top spot in Class AAA after finishing runner-up in Hampton.

As a result of a fourth-place finish in Hampton, Whitewater dove into the AAAAA rankings at No. 7.

Mill Creek won the boys Gwinnett County Championships while Norcross came in second and Brookwood fourth. One mild surprise was Peachtree Ridge taking fourth place, and the Lions crept back into the top 10 as a result.

Brookwood and Peachtree Ridge swapped spots in the girls Class AAAAAA poll, after the Broncos won the Gwinnett County Championship.

Meanwhile, Athens Academy took over the top spot in the Class A boys poll after winning the First Annual Run Wild Meet at First Presbyterian. Holy Innocents' jumped to No. 5 in the girls poll after a solid fifth place finish in the Run Wild Meet.
