Out of Millington’s 11 athletes, nine Stallions earned All-State honors. The quartet of Matrice White, Macaiah Haliburton, Aliyah Williamson and Alexis Jordan captured the 2017 crown in the 4x400m relay. Others to obtain All-State honors were Millington boys’ 4x400m relay team of Perry Harrold, Jaidon Morrell, Colby Goode and Adrian Dowell finishing sixth.
