Northeast Georgia Championships

Hey Everyone,

Great job at Athens Academy yesterday! I'd say the guys turned some heads with their performance and more importantly, we all showed some heart in finishing the race in 90 degree weather.

For official results, go to http://ga.milesplit.us/meets/54361


Saturday's race is a big one for two reasons. We get our first 5K times of the season and it's a BIG showing of teams. Last I checked there were over 1200 runners attending. It is very important that you don't wander off.

We will meet at the school at 7am and head over to Athens Christian. The first race will be Varsity Girls at 8:30am. Varsity Boys are at 9:00am. JV Boys will start at 9:30am and JV Girls start at 9:35am.

I expect we'll be hopping on the bus to come back to Oglethorpe between 10:30 and 11am and will either stop to get something to eat on the way or possibly order pizza. Either way, please make sure your runner has some money for lunch.


Here are the directions to Athens Christian...There is no admission charge, but there is a $5 parking charge per car so try to carpool if possible. (There are several ways to get there)

  • Take Hwy 78 towards Athens
  • Turn Left to get on the ramp for US-29
  • Go North on 29 for about 5 miles and the school will be on your right

See you there!
