Vikings win 5th consecutive State Championship |
Saturday, October 21, 2006 - The 2006 GISA State Cross-Country Meet was held at the Vikings home course (Georgia Industrial Children's Home), and the boys defeated Dominion Christian by a score of 27-47 and were led by seniors Joby Peake, Scott Cope and Brandon Suttle who finished first, second and eighth overall. Sophomore Robert Bradham and junior Rawson Ridley finished seventh and eighth overall to clinch the title. Drew Wood and Josh Smith ran their fastest times of the year as the Vikings sixth and seventh men.
The girls team overcame adversity all season and the state meet was no different. Their fourth place finish was not indicative of the season and the team fought hard to the end.
Following the race, Coach McDaniel said, "The class of 2007 has left their mark on cross-country and FPD as a whole. These kids will be successful at anything they choose in life because of their work ethic and commitment to excellence.

schools as the boys easily outdistanced the field, scoring 17 points
to second place Stratford's 126. The girls' race was a

second overall in the girls race to lead the girls.
Following the
day's events, Coach McDaniel said, "it was a total team effort for
our boys and girls. The boys swept the first four places and
our fifth (junior Josh Smith) continues to amaze me with his
determination. It's also great to see the girls overcome
Saturday's disappointment by drawing closer to each other and taking
the steps necessary to win the meet. |
