#2 BEST team for the Decade:
Milesplit GA released the Georgia High School All Decade Cross Country Awards for 2010-2019 last month. The 2017 Milton Boys State Championship team was recognized as the #2 BEST team for the last 10 years in the State of Georgia behind Marietta. Here's an excerpt from the article:
"Making the podium for boys teams of the decade are Milton, Brookwood, and St. Pius. The 2017 Milton boys team had perhaps the best regular season team in state history. They won Knights Crossing Invite in Virginia with a 15:35 average (for 5000 meters), and followed that up by winning Wingfoot Invitational in 15:29. They went on to win the State title with a score of 40 points (low score wins), with a margin of victory of 138 points, one of the greatest ever in state history, and then finished their season by placing 5th at the Nike Cross Country Regional."
Milton was also recognized as one of the top-10 PROGRAMS of the Decade for the entire state of Georgia for BOTH the girls & boys teams. 472 high schools field teams in cross country in the state of Georgia. The girls program has finished on the podium at the state meet (top-4) in their classification in 9 years of the decade 2010-2019.
Individually, 2018 alum Sam Bowers was recognized as the 7th Best Runner of the Decade and fellow 2018 alum Nicholas Yanek was named as Honorable Mention to the all-decade individuals cross country team of the decade.
