Milton JV Track & Field Starts Season at Titan Relays
The Milton JV track & field team was in full-force at Northview HS Monday evening for the annual running of the Titan Relay Meet. Host Northview HS puts on this relay-only event for early-season fun and experience and the Eagles got to have a chance to compete against some strong programs.
Both the girls and boys of Milton finished 5th at the 5-team meet but the experience gained from competing will help the Eagles as the track season continues. Host Northview won the girls meet (36 pts) & Clarkston (38 pts) was the boy’s team winner. Both teams edged out Central Gwinnett by 4 points. Milton girls finished with 8 pts and the boys had 6 pts.
