Correction
The official results posted by Ga.Milespllit. com inadvertantly left off Gordon Lee’s Kate Gilliam from the Run at the Rock high school cross country meet in Cartersville on Sept. 16. Gilliam ran a 23:56 for the Lady Trojans.
As a result, the adjusted girls’ team scores were Woodland (19), East Paulding (108), Cartersville (139), Gordon Lee (141) and Heritage (149). The error was not discovered until after the original story went to print in the Sept. 23 edition.
