This past weekend we sent two teams to our regional tournament at Middle Georgia State University. Our A team finished in 2nd place overall, just 12 points behind reigning and 9-time state champion Brookwood High School, but medaling in 19 events (out of 23) to their 18. Special congratulations to our B team, who won 9 medals (top 4) and finished in 4th place overall, beating out 4 recent state qualifiers - including Parkview High School, who is frequently top 10 in the state. For comparison, last year our B team won 2 medals and finished 6th overall.
Finishing in the top five overall qualifies us for the State Tournament on March 31st at Emory University, where we hope to qualify for the National Tournament, and end Brookwood's winning streak.
