![]() ![]() Shari Brown, yet another sophomore for Landmark Christian, picked up eight key points in the 1600 to keep her team in the hunt on Friday, and then she scored seven points across the 8 on Saturday. Fellow sophomore Malia Campbell finished third in the 200 and outclassed the competition in the 400 with another GA top-12 time. Taylor Gullatte won the 200 and was second in the 100 with two GA top-12 times, picking up a key 18 points. ![]() This put the War Eagles in a hole early on, but they vacuumed up points on Saturday. The Landmark Christian War Eagles did almost all of their damage on the track, scoring only 3.5 points in field events (thanks to Sarah Evans Thorne in the pole vault). ![]() Athens needed at least third place to remain on top, but they ended up seventh, giving Landmark the tight, 3.5-point victory and back-to-back titles, including their first ever title in 2A. Landmark was the favorite, and they certainly fulfilled that billing by running a blistering 3:52.24 to win. That stance was justified as Athens Academy led Landmark by just 4.5 points heading into the 4x400, with both teams running in the finals. ![]() In the state meet preview, I predicted that the 2A girls' team battle would be a tight one between Athens Academy and Landmark Christian, and I purposefully did not declare a favorite for the meet. ![]()
