Coach Moore's Report

Titan Runners Sweep Area Meet as Moore Sets Course Record in 5th Win of Season; JV Girls Claim Title with Perfect Score

North Oconee's Lady Titans opened the day with an impressive win in the Clarke-Oconee Area meet at Athens Christian on Tuesday, led once again by Mackenzie Morse. Athens Academy was second (33-45). The Lady Titans placed four runners in the top ten. Morse (3rd in 20:30) was closely followed by Gabby Huff-Streiter (4th in 20:35), as Hollis Brown (21:01) and Kate Mattison (21:11) took the 8th and 10th spots, respectively. Sophie Brown was 11th in 21:24. Courtney Jones (12th; 21:39) and Anna Cobb (14th; 21:58) rounded out the top seven.

His 16:05 set the pace as two fellow Titans contributed top-ten finishes: Harper Sigler (4th in 16:44), and Anthony Potts (8th in 17:23).
