Group AA State Meet Summary MileSplit Staff Jun 5, 2004

The Group AA State Meet was held once again in Harrisonburg, but at James Madison University\'s new track and field complex, instead of the usual state meet venue at Bridgeforth Stadium. Despite the different venue, the same great performances were produced that have come to be expected from the AA athletes every June. Fauquier does not have the largest track team in AA, but it can make the claim as one of the most talented after their dominating team performances on both the boys and girls side at the Group AA State Meet. Thanks to the double state title wins in the 1600 and 800 meter runs by Matt Bierlein and Sarah Bowman and help from their teammates, both Fauquier boys and girls track teams nearly walked away with state team titles as the Fauquier boys won with 54 points, while the Fauquier girls finished runner-up with 50.5 points behind state team champions, Courtland with 52.5.
