Buford XC step up to the challenge at County Meet

Gwinnett County Championships, Conyers GA

Saturday, September 14th      The Gwinnett County Championships serve as a showcase for the major running talent coming out of this county. With powerhouse programs like Mill Creek, Brookwood, North Gwinnett, and Parkview, the front-runners are both fast and fun to watch. Over 1400 county athletes participated in this year's meet, and our Buford XC runners stepped up to the challenge, put themselves out there, and ran against some of the fastest runners in this state. 

Girls Varsity: Missing some of our upper classmen this race, the Buford Varsity Girls XC was a little younger than usual with Freshman Hayden Bailey (24:04) leading the charge.  Senior Rebekah Miranda (25:17), Freshman Abby Wood (25:52), Junior McKenzie Curry (25:57), and Sophomore Leah Madsen (26:53) all contributed points for the wolves. 

Boys Varsity: The boys team again displayed some strong pack running that led them to a 13th place finish among a very competitive field of 22 teams. Senior Ben Archer crossed the line at 18:42 followed closely by Freshman Carter Hales (18:45) and Junior Zach Davidson at (18:50). Freshman Braden Schmid (18:56) and Joseph Davis (19:08) also scored for the team.
