This past weekend out season came to an end at the 2013 NAIA National Outdoor Track and Field Championships. We had four people qualify for nationals and three compete. here is a run down of how everyone did at nationals.
Holland McCoy - Qualified for Nationals in the Heptathlon, but was not in the top 16 so she did not compete.
Breanne Newton - Qualified in the 1500 and had a healthy season. first one in two year. She just missed making finals in the running 4:47.
Kristen Garwood - Qualified in the 5k and the 10k we decided to run the 10k at this national championship and it was not the best day for Kristen. Although she is only a freshman so we are looking for many great years to come. She did stay healthy all season and qualified for nationals in cross country, indoor and outdoor track.
Nickola Shingles - Was the lone man for the Trojans to make it to Nationals. He ran a blazing 14.15 in the prelims to make the finals in the 110M High Hurdles. He Broke the school record as well in the prelims. In the final he hit just about every hurdle and finished 5th in 14.46. He garnered NAIA All-American status, and had a great season.
All in all it was a good year for the HLGU Trojan Track team. We had five NAIA All-Americans this year the most in program history. Over 15 people qualified for Nationals either in Cross Country, indoor or outdoor track and field. All in all it was a good year we look ahead now to the fall and the new cross country season that lies ahead.
