In the most recent Ga.MileSplit state rankings, both sets of Tigers sit atop the Class A Private School rankings. The boys, coming off a state runner-up finish last season, have produced impressive results at a few early-season meets. They finished third at the Clara Bowl Invitational and grabbed two top-10 finishes at the Double Dip Invitational and the Knights Crossing Invitational. All of those races featured the Tigers competing against teams from much larger classifications.
The girls have also run extremely well. Last season, they finished third at the Class A Private School meet, and so far this season they have been running with the best in the state in any classification. The Lady Tigers placed sixth at Berry and also recorded top 10 finishes at Double Dip and Knights Crossing.
