On March 11, the middle school student-athletes from Tallulah Falls School competed at Athens Christian Academy.

According to Athletic Director Scott Neal, in a rain-shortened meet, seventh-graders Julianne Shirley of Clarkesville (400m, 200m, high jump, relays) and Ellie Southards of Dillard (throws, 100m, relays) continued to lead TFS in placing in their events while counterparts eighth-graders Lincoln Hall of Mt.

Eighth-graders Colton Hicks of Clarkesville placed third in the 800m and Cassidy Hayes of Cornelia placed third in the triple jump.
