Upon conclusion, the team walked away with 12 individual first place finishes plus 2 relay wins, 11 second place individual finishes including a 2nd place relay, and 10 third place individual finishes, among several fourth place finishes. All around, a very impressive showing. "Very proud of the way we competed today in this meet. If its any sign of what's to come for this season, we are going to be a very good team. I'm excited about what's in store for us", said Coach Muhammad.
Leading the way for the Boys team was Greg Hill, with wins in the 100m, 200m, and running a strong 3rd leg in both the 4 x 100m relay, and 4 x 400m relay. Other multiple winners included Jevon Leonard (winning the 800m and leading off our 4 x 400m relay) and Nasir Muhammad (winning the 400m and the High Jump). Other Boys winners included:

Adding to great all-around performances was Bruce Mattox III, taking two bronze (3rd) medals plus anchoring both relays to wins. "I wanted to do well in this meet because a lot of my former teammates run in Clayton County. They had been talking about how they were going to beat us. I'm glad we performed the way we did", said Bruce III.
