Long County Rec Department participated in the State GRPA Cross Country Meet in Jefferson Ga. October 8th
This is the second year we have had this sport at our rec department. Liberty County also added this sport to their rec this year so we were able to race each other several Saturdays which helped both departments get ready for state. This year the state added team placing awards if you had four athletes in that age group. Each athlete from your county is given points based on their placement at the finishline and the team with the least amount of points won team ranking. Long County Was able to get first place team in 8 U girls, First place team in 12u girls and First place team in 14 U boys. ” We are very proud of all of these kids for their hard work and dedication the last few months. We have some kids who have shaved over 7-8 minutes on their run times. Thats huge,”
