KM had a rough start to the year with a bottom-half finish at Powder Springs, finishing almost ten points behind district-mate Harrison. But the group appeared to rebound a few weeks later, earning second place at Jacksonville right behind Nation Ford.
Kennesaw finished its season by grabbing the last spot in finals at Atlanta keeping their streak of finals appearances alive, but keeping them out of the Top 30 for the rest of the season.
2015
Kennesaw Mountain competed at the Jacksonville Regional.Unfortunately, they didn't get the chance to compete against Harrison (or any other competitive school) at all this year. They swept captions in both rounds of competition and beat second place East Coweta by more than four points.
2014
Kennesaw Mountain competed at the Powder Springs Regional, Jacksonville Regional, and Grand National Championships. At both of these regionals, Kennesaw Mountain competed against district rival Harrison, and at both of these regionals, Kennesaw Mountain lost to Harrison. After these two events and Tarpon's huge victory at Atlanta, we weren't surprised to see Kennesaw almost 10 points behind Tarpon at Grand Nats.2013
Last year we only saw Kennesaw once, at Atlanta, and they performed well, but around two points behind Harrison, three behind Wando, seven behind Tarpon, and eight behind Broken Arrow. The group's improvement was drastic from Atlanta to Grand Nats in 2012, so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
