The Clinton Christian Academy 2024 Track and Field teams performed astonishingly well in the postseason competition at the Missouri Christian State Athletic Association (MCSAA) State Outdoor Track and Field Events held in Joplin, MO on May 10 and 11.

The teams competed in 17 events with the CCA boys finishing 1st with 105.5 points while the girls reached 118 points earning them 1st place as well. This gave both teams top scores for the Championship win in Missouri’s Division II teams.
The women’s division earned second place in the 4x100m, 4x200m and the 4x800m relays.
The men’s division earned 3rd place with a highlight handoff between the Wisniewski brothers (senior and 6th grade)!

The other athletes on the team broke some personal records and they glorified the Lord for their abilities.
MCSAA was started “to provide a comprehensive state-wide competitive program of athletics in a Christian environment” in accordance with I Corinthians 10:31 – Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
There are currently 34 member schools in MCSAA whose organization’s prayer is that involvement with other Christian schools will accomplish this goal of bringing glory to God.
