Panther Prowl a success for Starr’s Mill

In spite of the rain and weather, the first annual Panther Prowl 5K/Fun Run was held Aug. 20. The Starr’s Mill Touchdown club sponsored this event to kick off the football team’s Saturday appearance at the Georgia Dome where they successfully took on Walton High School. There were 16 sponsors who graciously donated funds to help make this event possible.

“The Panther Prowl was a great kickoff to our season,” said Coach Mike Earwood. “What a great idea to involve everyone in such a worthwhile event. It was a huge success and I look for it to get bigger and better with time.”

Event Coordinators, Patt Coleman, Jan Landgraf, and Stephanie Sudduth, synchronized the advertising and organizing which helped make the night victorious.Ê While the event did start and finish in the school’s stadium, the majority of the walk/run was held on the beautiful South Campus. Winners of the different categories were:

The organizers of the event wished to thank all of the sponsors and the volunteers, stating that the event could not have been possible without their help.
