From April 2008:

The 2008 season is heating up as Chamblee hits the track, blazing past opponents in season-record times. On March 22, the team traveled to Roswell High for the Roswell Relays.
“They did extremely well,” said boys short distance coach Teddy Carter.
While all the runner performances were outstanding, the relays stole the show.
“The four-by-one team was incredible,” said Carter.
In a 4 x100 relay, each member of the team runs 100 meters before handing the baton, a long cylindrical object, to the next teammate until they run the entire circuit of the track. Seniors Malcolm Beyah and Brennan Buckner and juniors Warren Norman and Shawn Martin completed their four-by-one relay in 42.7 seconds.
“We’ve already beaten last year’s fastest time,” said Beyah. The senior may be the favorite to win the AAA 100-meter state title after placing eight last season, due to injury.
The track and field team was scheduled to open up their season on February 26 against Dunwoody and Tucker; however, the meet was canceled. In the first meet of the season on March 6, the Bulldogs beat McNair, followed by a win over Colombia. Senior hurdler Allie Jest performed spectacularly, heightening hopes for another state run. Already the team is looking forward to the future and focused on improving the past.
“We practice every day and work on the same events,” said Carter. “We need to work on timing.”
The runners also realize the differences from the previous season.
“We’ve been really working on speed,” said Beyah. “We didn’t really have overall team speed last year.”
Younger runners add depth to the team in the 2008 season, as well as promise for years to come.
“Imani Gay, a sophomore, has done really well so far,” said girls assistant coach LaTonya Watson.
In addition to the sprinters, the long distance runners, trained by head coach Curtis Johnson, are improving and reducing their times. The Bulldogs finished ninth at the Class AAA state meet in 2007 due to first-place finishes in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters by senior Emily Reese, who continues to obliterate her competition.
“We are doing really well,” said Miriam Harris. “Everyone’s times are going down.”
The field events are also part of the overall score, and the competitors are contributing significantly.
“We have some outstanding pole vaulters in Michael Fessenden, Andrew Johnson, and Victor McKoon,” said Johnson.
