Georgia boys state track meet

JEFFERSON - Except for Justin Oliver&#39;s win in the long jump Thursday, Redan was a no-show in the field events, but, led by Oliver again, Redan blazed to its second straight Class Five-A championship at the G-H-S-A Boys State Track and Field meet today.<br> <br> Oliver added easy wins in the 200 and 400 to his long jump title as Redan piled up 83 points, way ahead of runnerup Marietta with 52.<br> <br> Oliver scored 35 points during the meet, the most points possible in a state meet, with his wins in the three individual events and both relays.<br> <br> Oliver was named the meet&#39;s most outstanding performer.<br> <br> The one-sided nature of the Five-A race was typical as only the Quad-A race was close. Carrollton in Triple-A, Charlton County in Double-A and Pelham in A clinched the title before the final four-by-400 relay.<br> <br> The only tight race was in Quad-A, where Cedar Shoals placed first and fourth in the last race, the four-by-400 relay, to overtake Marist, St. Pius X and Hiram, all tied for first entering the last event. The Jaguars&#39; best individual race of the day was a third by Carlton Golden in the 200.<br> <br> Cedar Shoals finished with 42 points, followed by Hiram with 37, and St. Pius X and Marist tied at 36.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press.
