Corral A participants of the inaugural Classic City Marathon begin the race on Jan. 28. CCHS had two teams competing in the marathon relay, with the girls placing 15th and the boys finishing first. “We all do road races independently from the school at other points of the year, and we all wanted to be a part of the first Athens marathon,” CCHS junior Ryan Marshall, who ran the relay’s last leg, said. “I ran a PR in the 10k split of my leg by a good three minutes, and managed to chase down a marathoner with a big gap in front of us. It was honestly the best I have felt in a race in quite a while.” Photos and story by Wyatt Meyer
