The Wildcats and Lady Wildcats both took victories in the five-team meet with 144 and 195 points, respectively. Woodland’s girls finished ahead of host Gordon Central (74), Armuchee (32), Calhoun (25) and Chattooga (7). Rounding out the standings on the boys’ side were Gordon Central (90), Calhoun (86), Chattooga (12) and Armuchee (2).
No major changes occurred in the Woodland lineups, but boys coach Adrian Steele acknowledged he did lost a bet with his 4x100 relay team. Steele said he promised to switch anchors — from a senior runner to a freshman — if the Wildcats’ relay team ran a faster time than the ones it had posted running in his order. The bet proved unwise — or maybe not — for Steele who watched his 4x100 relay team win its event in a time of 42.18 seconds.
