The Georgia Division Championships The second annual Georgia Division Championships will be held June 21-22, in Rome GA at Shorter College. This is open to all members of the Georgia Division, and the winner of each event will be recognized as the Division Champion for the past season. In addition, this will be the final meet to earn points for the GA Division point standings, and the point standing winners will also be recognized after the completion of their events.
