Just an encouraging story of God's work among coaches...The state track meet was held last weekend at the University of Louisville. At the end of the meet the girls' team from Highlands was crowned State Champions and the team from Lloyd was runner-up. (They are both in the same region and are great rivals.) Highlands beat Lloyd by 1 1/2 points. Lloyd dropped the baton in the 4 X 100 relay, costing them the state title. At the end of the meet trophies were presented to both teams, to the Lloyd team first as runner-ups and then to the Highlands team as state champions. Upon exiting the track the Highlands team congratulated the Lloyd team, who were understandably a little disappointed. At that point the Lloyd coach, Greg Duty, (Greg spoke at the NKY FCA banquet in March), suggested the two teams pray together. God really united the two teams and the girls from Highlands asked the girls from Lloyd if they would join them for their victory lap around the track (normally reserved for only the winner). Chris Collingsworth, whose daughter runs for Highlands and his wife, were standing nearby and remarked to Greg that this was the greatest thing they had ever seen in sport. It was truly "Victory beyond Competition". I hope you are all doing well. God is faithful and good. MartyMarty Mayer
