NOVEMBER 10, 2020 - ATLANTA
-- The
Atlanta area's best cross country runners will be honored virtually by Atlanta
Track Club this month. The Club announced the 2020 Powerade All Metro High
School Cross Country Team today which features 42 athletes from 26 schools. First,
second and third team rosters will be named during an online ceremony broadcast
on Atlanta Track Club's YouTube channel at 8 p.m. on Friday, November 20.
A
list of all honorees - 21 boys and 21 girls - is included at the end of this
news release. It features seven athletes who won individual state titles at
last weekend's GHSA Cross Country State Championship Meet.
In
addition, the Club will announce the Most Outstanding Boys and Girls Athletes
at the virtual banquet. Coaches and the public will vote for the award. Public
voting is open today through Friday on 11Alive's website.
"This
season created new challenges for high school runners," said Rich Kenah,
Atlanta Track Club's Executive Director. "Despite lost practice times and
reduced opportunities to compete, the young athletes on this year's Powerade
All Metro Cross Country team stood on every start line with confidence and
positivity and crossed the finish line with personal bests, course records and
state championships."
The
Powerade All Metro Cross Country Banquet is Atlanta Track Club's longest
running tradition, dating back to the Club's founding in 1964. The Club also
hosts the Powerade All Metro Track & Field Banquet in June.
