    Through their striving to push to the next level during meets and practices, both Luke Thornton and Addison Robinson helped the Greyhounds and Lady Greyhounds three-peat as region champions and finish near the top of the leaderboard at November’s GHSA state meet.

    Now, both runners, also individual region champions this year, can also be a called All-Americans. Both were recognized last week, garnering yet another honor during careers that have seen them move up the ladder among the region frontrunners.

    Thornton won a region crown for himself this year after coming in fourth and second the past two years with Robinson’s upward trajectory being down by a region title this year after coming in second two years ago and fourth last year.
