Robert Toombs Christian Academy's boys' and girls' track and field teams competed in their first meet last Wednesday at the Gator Relays held at Georgia Southern. There were 8 teams competing in total and RTCA finished 3rd.

Coach Jake Wilkinson commented, “We had several top four finishers against very good competition. I was proud of both our teams and how we performed with a small number of athletes. I feel like once we have everyone there and healthy our teams will be able to make a strong run at Region and State once again.”
