Hayden McCarter is in familiar territory: out front.
The swift sophomore took first place in this month's earlier home meet against South Point and Walnut Grove. Wednesday, in a Clover High-hosted meet that included York Comprehensive High, McCarter placed top 5 in the women's race.
   Coach Beth Donnely has strong hopes that the summer training will continue to pay off in stronger finishes for all her runners. If that's the case, McCarter is setting a strong pace.
   Having won top female honors in last year's SCACS league, the tenth grader is a strong contender to repeat at number one at the SCACS state meet in late October.
