Geoff

Melymuk, a recent graduate of McIntosh High School,

received All Metro track honors from the Atlanta Track

Club at a recent ceremony.

Melymuk was

a state champion in the 3,200-meter run. He was the first

male runner from McIntosh to win a state championship and

be named to the All Metro track team.

He will

attend West Virginia University in the fall on a full

scholarship. He also received a $500 track scholarship

from the Peachtree City Running Club. Before he becomes a

Mountaineer, though, Melymuk will spend his summer

running in national meets with the Quicksilver Track

Club.

He will

defend his national United States Track and Field Junior

Olympic steeplechase championship at the end of July in

Nebraska. Melymuk was one of the most prolific runners at

McIntosh High School, setting numerous records and a

positive example on the trails and track.
