Chapel Hill Cross Country Team Has Eyes On State Meet Chapel Hill High School’s boys and girls cross country teams have their sights set on making it to the state meet. They’ll get to see how they fare against the rest of the county next week at the DCSS Cross Country Championships, which are set for Sept. 26 at 5 p.m. at Clinton Nature Preserve. Chapel Hill made the move up to Class 6A, the largest classification in Georgia, this year. Coach Chris Wilson said Chapel Hill is used to facing some of the best teams in the state. “We are looking forward to the extra competition,” Wilson said. “We run against these teams all the time. All our meets are big. We run against the Carrolltons and the Hill Groves, so it's nothing that we don't see every single year.” Senior Lakshmi Robinson ran a season-best 25:33.31 last month in the Zack Wansley Clash, named in honor of a former Chapel Hill and Georgia Tech long distance runner who passed away while training for the Atlanta Marathon. “Definitely our goal is to go to state this year,” Robinson said. “We work towards it every year, and each year we do get better and better. So, of course, we're gonna put in that work and really help each other stay motivated to make it to state.” Teammate Faryn Algarin agreed that state is the ultimate goal. She added that the team is always getting better and continuing to stay positive. “Personally, I just want to make top five in the district,” Algarin said. On the boys side, Marlon Cruz-Johnson has the team’s season best run of 17:40.63 at the Wire2Wire XC Invitational. “The boys team got the exact same goal as the girls team of making it to state, being top in our district,” Cruz-Johnson said. “And we also want to win county this year. We've been training all summer for it, so I think we can do it.” Teammate Ohmahr Fleming echoed that sentiment, adding, “We're going for first.” https://youtu.be/zowjZZlmknQ?si=J26Z6cRytr7fp5x5

They must be committed to leadership and character development by bringing students to National Beta events. Finally, they must have focused on the National Beta motto, "Let Us Lead by Serving Others," by leading their club to earn a National Beta service hour award.

Chapel Hill Speech and Debate Teams Earn Accolades The Speech and Debate Team of Chapel Hill High has earned some well-deserved accolades. In an outstanding first year, Chapel Hill High School’s Speech and Debate Team garnered recognition at the state and national levels. Coach Kenya Taylor was honored as the 2024 New Coach of the Year for the Georgia Southern Peach District of the National Speech and Debate Association. Additionally, two members of Chapel Hill’s team qualified to compete at the National Speech and Debate Tournament: Lindsey Mercer (Congressional Debate-House) and Claire Craton (Original Oratory). "Chapel Hill High School's Speech and Debate program has become a shining example of success, equipping students with critical thinking, persuasive communication, teamwork, and confidence in public speaking,” Taylor said. “In our technologically advanced world, where young people are inundated with information from social media and the internet, our Speech and Debate program teaches them essential skills in researching and identifying credible sources, critically evaluating information, and using it to combat misinformation while exploring policy and public issues that could impact their future. These are skills that will serve students well beyond the classroom." Mercer and Craton’s qualification for the National Tournament places them among the top 1% of students in the nation, highlighting the highest level of achievement in speech and debate competition. "I feel honored to be a national qualifier for Original Oratory,” Craton said. “It is very rewarding to have your hard work and efforts recognized on the national level. It is also satisfying to have a topic you are so invested in be recognized and respected by others. I definitely wouldn't be here without my team and coach. They've offered enormous amounts of support, helping me gain confidence in myself and my speeches. Through the speech and debate platform, I feel I can help change the world with one speech at a time."
