JEFFERSON - Cobb County won four more individual state titles, including two more from Whitefield Academy's Cameron Thornton, on the final day of the boys track and field championships Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Two days after winning the Class A 1,600-meter run, Thornton claimed his second individual title of the meet by winning the 800. He also led the Wolfpack to a state title in the 1,600 relay.

Thornton's heroics also propelled Whitefield Academy to a place on the awards podium with a fourth-place finish, the first in school history for the Wolfpack. Whitefield's 39 points placed it behind Pelham (68), Eagle's Landing Christian (56) and Athens Academy (55).

Thornton picked up where he left on from Thursday as he ran a time of 1 minute, 58.309 seconds to win the 800, finishing ahead of Wesleyan's Brandon Ramsey (1:59.704) and Athens Christian's Will Hayes (2:00.174).

Thornton followed the same strategy he used to win the 1,600 two days earlier - staying behind the lead pack in the first half of the race and taking control of the race in the final 200 meters.

"The strategy was the same (as the 1,600) - stay behind the leaders and make my move near the end," Thornton said. "I would have liked to have run a faster time, but my legs were a little tired from running the 1,600 (on Thursday) and the 800 prelims (Friday)."

Thornton came back later to team up with Murphy Alexander, Cameron Lemons and R.J. Willis to win the 1,600 relay for Whitefield Academy with a time of 3:26.911. The Wolfpack's quartet beat out Jenkins County (3:30.519) and Hancock County (3:30.979).

Allatoona's Henry Stevens-Carty clinched his second title by winning the Class AAAA 800 run, going along with the 1,600 run he won Thursday. Stevens-Carty ran a time of 1:53:259, taking the lead early in the race and consistently widening his advantage to win in convincing fashion.

Miller Grove's Antonio Carter, the runner-up behind Stevens-Carty in the 1,600, was second once again (1:55:82), while Heritage's Aaron Worthy was third (1:55:877).

"(The 800) was the race I wanted to run," Stevens-Carty said. "I just wish I would have been pushed more at the end, then I would have run a faster time and I would have gotten the best-performance award (for the best time in all classifications). But I'm excited about winning another state title and winning two state titles for the whole meet."

Stevens-Carty's wins in the 800 and 1,600 propelled Allatoona to an eighth-place finish in Class AAAA with 22 points.

McEachern's Jaron Roberson was the only other local winner crowned Saturday with his victory in the Class AAAAA 400. He ran a time of 47.911 to finish ahead of South Gwinnett's Kevin Gary (48.224) and Walton's Chris Foster (48.362).

Roberson's time was the fastest recorded in the 400 across all five classifications.

"I wish I had run a little faster," Roberson said. "I've run four races (during the meet) and my legs are a little tired, but I'm happy with what I did."

McEachern finished tied for third in Class AAAAA with Dacula, with each team scoring 34 points. The Indians finished behind Brookwood (51) and Peachtree Ridge (42).

"The kids worked hard all year," McEachern coach Phil Hoskins said. "We got several athletes qualified for state. It's good to get on the podium."

Wheeler was the only other local team to finish in the top 10, finishing seventh in Class AAAAA with 26 points.
