This will be approximately 20 members from each gender who will be eligible to participate in our remaining Championship races, including the JV and Varsity DeKalb County Championships, the Region Championships, and the State Championships. This group will be narrowed down to 12 runners of each gender prior to the Region Championships, and any 7 of these 12 are eligible to run at the State Meet, should the team qualify. Upon the announcement of the “Championship Season” members, the rest of the team members are welcome to attend practice, however it is not mandatory nor expected, as they will not be participating in any additional races for the season, and training will be geared to our “Championship Season” runners. The Dunwoody Cross Country team headed to the Milton Invitational this past weekend to vie for the famed Eagle Cup! The runners challenged a tough course and a fast field in true Wildcat fashion. Although, we didn't bring home the Eagle Cup, we did bring home individual hardware, team hardware, and multiple PR's. We are so proud of all the runners that faced the hills with good form and conquered the Milton Mountain! Way to go Wildcats. Complete results can be found at
