North Oconee runners found the competition worthy of the hype on Saturday at the Saucony Battle of Atlanta, but managed to place a respectable 6th (of 31) in the boys' varsity field and 10th (of 44) in the girls' varsity division. The girls' JV had the highest finish of the day, taking second among 17 teams, and the boys' JV ran 5th of 22.
Thomas Moore followed up his course-record-breaking run at NEGA with a top-ten effort, placing 8th (of 371) in 16:34. Anthony Potts secured 33rd in 17:11. Harper Sigler took 59th in 17:48 as Dawson Frey (69th in 18:00) and Austin Joost 85th in 18:11 took top-five spots. Andrew Cowick (121st in 18:37) and Brady Kalessa (122nd in 18:37) rounded out the Titan scoring.
In the girls' varsity race, Mackenzie Morse continued to pace the Lady Titans with a 34th place (of 308 ) finish in 20:54. Gabby Huff-Streiter provided strong support, taking 69th in 21:47. Hollis Brown (90th in 22:11), Sophie Brown (90th in 22:13), and Kate Mattison (93rd in 22:15) provided a strong pack. Melanie Bowden (97th; 22:18) and Courtney Jones (124th in 22:48) rounded out the team top seven.
The trophy-winning girls' JV got 5th and 6th place overall finishes from Anna Cobb (23:02) and Allie Dominicali (23:11). Anna Marie Garmon claimed a top-ten spot (10th in 23:32). Amelia Veal was 17th (24:14), while Amy Gayer ran 24th (24:25). Peyton Coates finished 25th (24:29), and Komal Parikh (30th in 24:52).
Once again Jacob Ash lead the way for the boys' JV (17th in 19:21). Wanya Newton (50th; 20:38), Jon Hobus (54th; 20:51), Daniel Smith (79th; 21:25), Joel Winston (80th; 21:26), and Mark Bowden (90th; 21:38) took top-seven team finishes.
