The Briarwood Boys Middle School Track Team placed first in the GISA Region 1-A Track Meet April 16. Coach John Osborne was very proud of how well the boys did at the track meet.
"Our guys had an exceptional day; it seemed that everyone had their best day whether it be jumping, throwing or running," Coach Osborne said. "The boys gave it their all, and it paid off for a region championship. I could not ask anymore from our athletes; we said all year it takes a team to win and that is just what happened. They came together as a team pulling for each other in each individual event, and they worked well together in the relays. I am very proud of our middle school track team."
