“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.  Attached you will find social graphics of your athletes who have been selected.  Feel free to share on your social media channels using #AllMetroXC
