The ACS Athens Cross Country teams competed against Byron College, St. Catherine's, ISA and Campion in the Annual Local Cross Country event hosted at Syngrou Park.

More than 140 runners competed across five races:  Boys & Girls Varsity 5K, JV Boys 3K, JV Girls 3K, Middle School Boys 2K and Middle School Girls 2K.  While early in the morning during the course preparation phase there was heavy rain, the actual races took place with overcast but with a wet and muddy terrain.
