The Lipscomb Bisons Track and Field team saw many of the younger athletes succeed with personal records as well as in team records as they competed in their third indoor meet of the season at Tennessee State University.
The Bisons saw success in both the field events as well as running events. Starting with the women’s team, several athletes set new personal records, and some broke even bigger records.
Senior thrower April Terry, one of the Bisons’ leading throwers, broke the school record in the weight throw with a throw of 17.82m, and sophomore thrower Rachel Dixon set a PR in the shotput (10.01m).
On the running side of the events, the Lady Bisons were at the top of many of the events with several of the younger athletes taking some of the glory.
The Lady Bisons swept the mile. Madi Talbert took first with a time of 5:00.89, Barbara Lee Ball finished second at 5:01.05, and Sally Larson rounded out the top three running a time of 5:03.47. Freshman Kayla Montgomery won the 5k with a time of 18:02.39. Freshman Kacey Kemper won the 800 (2:16.06), and the team’s DMR team finished in first (13:10.94).
When it came to the men’s events, it was the freshmen and sophomores that stood out as well.
Sophomore Devon Wade won the pole vault with a jump of 4.10m, while freshman Grayson Webber took first in the weight throw (13.33m), and freshman Kade Hinkle set a personal record in the weight throw (11.35m).
Senior Kenny Smith took second in the 400 meter race (0:50.71) with sophomore Brian Gentry following closely behind to take third (0:51.22). Sophomore Wayne Newman set a PR in the 200 meter (0:22.79). The men’s DMR team also took home first place (10:20.98).
The Bisons hit the road next as they travel to Carbondale, Illinois for the Southern Illinois Invite on Feb. 6 and Feb. 7.
