Last year’s League Champions, the Blankets Creek East Team, continued their winning ways, taking the top spot on the podium.

Over 12,000 student-athletes and 4,500 licensed coaches participate in NICA programs across the nation. The Georgia League is open to all Georgia and South Carolina students, regardless of ability, believing that cycling is about lifelong health, not just today’s win.
