Landmark Christian School boys

and girls cross country teams came back with trophies following the Brookwood-Walton

Stage Races this past Saturday.

More than 30 class A-AA-AAA teams from around the state competed.

The Landmark boys came in first with a low score of 18 points, which placed

them second overall even against class AAAA and AAAAA schools. This early

meet consisted of a two-mile run.

"The LCS boys were outstanding in their runs," remarked Coach

Bill Thorn. Competing in Saturday's race were Matt Coffey, Alan Gay, Johnathan

Best, Dustin McDonald, James Emanuel, Joseph Register, Scott Emery, Tim

Fritz, Eric Sumner, Jeff Noble, Blake Fertitta and Clark Rivers.

This year's girls team has

only one returning runner from last year, senior Melissa Register. Despite

a relatively young and inexperienced team, Thorn said, "What is really

remarkable is that in their short time of consistent training, they earned

the second place trophy in their class of A-AA-AAA schools."

Competing in the race were freshmen Sarah King, Meredith Gable, Mary Michael

Joiner and Kate Bailey; sophomores Jenny Cone and Courtney Piribek, and

senior Melissa Register.

This coming weekend both teams will travel to Mobile, Ala. to run in the

2000 Cross Country C hallenge.

The boys and girls teams are both coached by Bill Thorn and Gerry Register.
