The Fannin County High School cross country teams traveled Saturday, November 5 to Carrollton, Georgia, to compete in the state cross country meet.

Luke Callihan placed 20th, Gaven Davis finished in 23rd, Benjamin Bloch in 39th, Conner Kyle placed 60th, Sam Jabaley finished at 112th and James Kyle in 120th.

She was followed by Kristin Cipich in 21st, Monica Cosentino in 45th, Karli Sams in 48th, Olivia Temple in 74th, Shaylee Jones in 92nd and Jaclyn Cracknell in 117th.
Head Coach Suzianne Pass said, “This is a special group of young student athletes. They have worked hard this season, and several of them have worked extremely hard since the summer. They know it takes hard work to get to where they are. Our team graduates Sam Jabaley, James Kyle and Monica Cosentino this year. This will be a big part of our leadership leaving our team. We will miss all three of them so much.”
