Track & Field 2k22: Georgia Preview

Yes it is early, but we are kicking off the "Track & Field 2k22" season. The theme of the season is "Rise of the Woman." The meaning of the theme is that it is simply time.

Women's sports are unique and show everyone that times are progressing and anything is possible.
