Legacy Academy in Lockesburg competes in HCAA state track meet

On Saturday May 7th the Legacy Academy Junior and Senior High track teams traveled to Siloam Springs, Arkansas for the Heartland Christian Athletic Association State Track Meet.  The championship meet included competitors from private Christian schools from Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. It was a successful day for the Warrior’s young track program, which is in its third year.  Although one of the smallest schools at the meet, Legacy’s students placed in five events.  The students are coached by Dr. Jason Lofton who said, “The students competed hard and continue to build towards the future.  It’s really rewarding to see how hard they worked the way they support each other, especially knowing that our program is still so young and learning so much”.

Eight grader Eli Mitchell brought home the Junior High Boys state discus first place championship and junior Ethan Gallagher placed second in the Senior High Boys discus.  Seventh grader Manolo Vasquez placed a respectable 3rd in both long jump and the 100m for the Junior High Boys Division.  Legacy’s junior high boys 4×100 rounded out the meet with a second place against the largest school at the meet.
