Prize performance at XC state
The 2015 SCACS league state cross country meet enjoyed picture-perfect fall weather. The Mariner teams and individual runners took advantage of the crisp, sunny, and dry conditions to perform well against a field of strong runners from all over South Carolina.
Many Mariners posted their personal-best times in the race, which meandered through the wooded trails of the SIM ministry campus near Carowinds in Fort Mill. When the dust settled after the two races, green and silver were the colors of success. The Lady Mariners captured first place, while their male teammates earned second place in the men's race. Adding the smiles, the individual first place awards were both earned by LPA student-athletes.
Coach Beth Donnelly gave credit to the hard work of the individual students and their hard work in training and exercises the past few months. She pointed out that the teams enjoyed really meaningful practices in the days leading up the state meet. Fruit follows growth, cultivating, and pruning!

1st home meet 2015
LPA held its first cross country home meet of the season, hosting the South Point Patriots of Pageland and the Warriors of Walnut Grove. Lake Pointe's course is a challenging combination of hills, open field, and wooded areas, but a hot, summer sun added real difficulty.
Mariner runners were the fastest in both the men's and women's races, with Hayden McCarter setting the pace for the ladies and with Isaiah Mayhall coming from behind to capture the top spot for the guys.
The Mariners won the ladies' meet, while South Point was first in the men's race.
