Macon Middle School Track team finishes record season

The Macon Middle School Track Team finished the season on top — breaking several records along the way.

“I’m extremely proud of the hard work that these kids put in throughout this season,” said MMS track coach Zach Tallent.  “It was a very strange year for us, but they capitalized on their opportunities and made the best of them. Great things are in store for the future of Franklin Panthers track and field. I’m so excited to watch these athletes compete as they get older!”
