State track results: Bleckley County makes history; Carrollton, Buford win 6A
Carrollton won its 29th GHSA boys state championship in track and field Tuesday at Spec Towns Track in Athens, adding to its state record.
Buford’s girls joined Carrollton as a Class 6A champion.
Bleckley County swept the boys and girls Class A Division I titles and became the first public school in GHSA history, and third overall, to win all four cross country and track-and-field championships in one academic year.
Carrollton’s boys were powered by senior Khalen Pinkard, who scored victories in the long jump (24-9¼) and the triple jump (51-1¾). The senior has signed with Kentucky.
Seniors Izear Wimberly (high jump) and Noah Carnes (pole vault) and sophomore Drew Woznicki (3,200 meters) had runner-up finishes for the Trojans. Wimberly has signed with Georgia. Carnes is going to West Georgia.
Carrollton’s 29 boys state titles are more than twice that of the next-closest school, Landmark Christian, with 12. Carrollton claims a 30th state title won in 1924. The GHSA’s first sanctioned track-and-field meet was in 1951. Only Westminster’s cross county teams have won more state titles in one sport (girls with 35, boys with 32).
Buford’s girls won all four relays and got first-place finishes from Olivia Harris (400 meters) and Janessa Brown (long jump) to win state for the first time since taking three in row in 2017-19.
Harris was fifth in the 200, Brown was fourth in the 100 and both ran in two or more of the winning relays. Other relay champions were Quinn Conwell (all four), Alexandria Conwell (three), Carrington Harris (three) and Bria Tatum (one).
Bleckley County dominated A-I with its distance runners, as it did in the fall, when the Middle Georgia school swept the boys and girls cross country titles.
On the track Tuesday, the boys and girls had three top-eight finishers in each of the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters (a total of 18 placers) and won the boys and girls 4x800 relays. Ryder Garrett won the boys 1,600, and Harrison Rogers won the boys 3,200.
The only previous schools to win the four cross country and track-and-field titles in an academic year were private schools Westminster (2021-22) and Marist (2012-13 and 2013-14).
Bleckley’s boys had won two previous track titles, including one last year. The girls had won one before, in 2007.
Two Class A-I athletes won three individual events. Ansley Moore of Banks County won the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters. Majesty Ware of Heard County won the 200 meters, 300-meter hurdles and long jump.
The state meet resumes Wednesday with Class 5A, Private and Adapted championships.
