The Tallulah Falls track and field team put up an incredible performance on Saturday at the GAC Invitational. Almost everyone had a PR or season-best, and several were in the top-3 of their events. The girls came in 8th as a team (1st in 9th/10th grade scores), and the boys were 9th.
Mary Kate Ball, Gavin Simmons, Ryan Anderson, Olivia Henderson, and Oier Linera Mallea all excelled in the distance runs (800, 1600, 3200). Jace Ibemere (triple jump) had a season-best, and Henderson went to number two on the TFS Legacy List in the 1600. Ade Akisanya (shotput) had a season-best, and all freshman boys set a PR in the 1600.
