The Milton track & field teams returned to the windy confines of the Roswell Hornets and came away with two individual Fulton County track & field champions and finished 6th as a team in both the girls & boys team standings out of 13 schools.

BOYS
Milton (6th-61 pts) bested 7 schools and scored a few top-3 podium positions on a cool & blustery day. Individually the Eagles had one individual county champion in senior Andrew Dassler in the pole vault. Dassler (1st -14’) beat back 9 competitors to capture the county title. Other top-3 finishing athletes for Milton included junior Cory Chambers (2nd-10:02.17) in the 3200m run after placing 4th in the 1600m run. Junior Roman Atlow also finished runner up in the High Jump (2nd-6’) and senior Devin Dahunsi recorded a personal best (and the 4th best jump ever in school history) in the triple jump (3rd -43’8.5”) to record the only other podium placing spot for the Eagles.

GIRLS
The Lady Eagles (6th-42.5 pts) also distanced themselves from 8 schools in the team competition while crowning one individual county winner. Junior Farrah Frith (1st-11:25.77) led Milton with her thrilling victory in the 3200m run which makes her the 7th best performer in school history! Earlier Frith was a frustrating 5th place in the 1600m run. Highlighting the Lady Eagles efforts was the only other top-3 podium finish and it came from the girls 4×800m relay team (3rd-10:14.05), that just missed being runner-up by 2/100ths of a second! Seniors Genevieve Trainor, Megan Stechschulte & Shelby Howerton along with sophomore Leelah Dennis comprised the team and were with the race leaders the entire contest.

The Eagle track teams next see action on Friday at the annual Woodstock Distance Carnival and Saturday at the Marietta Spring Break Invitational before going on break until April 13th when Milton hosts their senior night meet with Centennial visiting the Eagles nest.
