state meets which begin this upcoming weekend.

 

The Class AAAAAA-B Sectionals, which included Regions 1, 2, 7 and 8, took place at Tift County on Saturday. And the Rockdale County boys and girls had a strong showing as it started with Candace Hill who finished first place in the 100- and 200-meter dash. Antwonette Thomas came in second in the 800-meter run and the 400-meter relay team which included Hill and Thomas came in second.

In the Class AAAAAA-A Sectionals at McEachern High School, the Marietta boys and girls did their school proud. Asia-Bue Wilson came in the third in the high jump while Elizabeth Hartley came in fourth. Tatiyana Radford came in second place in the long jump and Hartley also came in third in the pole vault.

 

Kirvonte Benson came in first place in the boys long jump and Khayvon Benson won the 1600-meter run. Kirvonte Benson also won the 100-meter dash and Khayvon also won the 800-meter run. The 4x400 team that included both Bensons came in fourth place.

 

The Class AAAAA-B Sectionals took place at Loganville and the Miller Grove girls had a strong showing. Tiffany Flynn won the 100-meter hurdles as well as the triple jump and the long jump. Pauline Arndt won the long jump and the team also won the 4x100 meter relay.

Harrison, Grayson among region winners

 

The Harrison boys emerged victorious in last week's Region 4-AAAAAA tournament for their 17th straight region title. They went low at Brookstone Country Club thanks to Chad Barfield (71), Sam Maryland (76), Nick Bell (77) and Luke Schneiderjans (78). Kennesaw Mountain's Jonathan Keppler took home top individual honors with a round of 4-under 68.


Elsewhere in Class AAAAAA, Grayson's boys captured the Region 8 winner's trophy for its fifth consecutive region title. The Rams' school-recorded 302 featured a 74 by Michael Clay. Alex Quinn, Dylan Heaser and Conner Dickinson of the Rams also finished in the top 10 individually at Summit Chase Country Club. Dacula's Hunter Fry was low medalist. He birdied the 18th hole for a 72, which edged Shawn Chong of Brookwood by one shot. The Mill Creek girls used their depth to capture the Region 7-AAAAAA championship. Annika Blanton of the Hawks led her team with an 80, good for fourth best among all participating individuals. Lambert's girls won the Region 6-AAAAAA championship for a fifth season in a row and set a school record of 216 despite Auburn University signee Michaela Owen struggling to an 83. Kayley Marschke set an individual school record by firing a 67 for the Longhorns.


North Atlanta turned in an impressive performance last week on the links, although only its boys are heading straight through to the state tournament. The girls, whose four best scores came from Helen Fialkowski, Elizabeth Ray, Lily Vitgel and Maggie Richardson, captured a region title (6-AAAAA) for the first time in school history. Their stroke total, however, was not good enough for automatic state qualification and they will have to try their hand at sectionals. North Atlanta's boys triumphed at the region tournament with a winning score of 321 that beat runner-up Dunwoody. Taylor Walstrum shot 78, while Turner Hume and Winston Meshad both carded 79s.

 

In Class A-Private, Walker's boys won in Area 4 behind Barrett Kulik's 73 and Joe Reich's 75. The Wolverines beat Mt. Paran Christian by three shots. Jon Erik Alford of Mt.  Pisgah Christian captured low medalist honors after firing a 72. Darlington's girls triumphed in Area 4 in part thanks to Hanna Grevelius' 72 and Hanna Mae Deems' 75. Mt. Pisgah Christian and Whitefield Academy also advanced to sectionals.
