ALLENDALE, Mich. - Grace's track and field team enjoyed a plethora of personal-best performances at the Bill Clinger Classic on Friday.
The Lancers posted more than a dozen PRs, hit an NAIA standard and broke a school record during a busy Friday.
Kylie Sauder hit the NAIA "B" standard in the mile. She raced to a time of 5:00.70, finishing fifth in the race.
Esther Cameron set a school record with an impressive run in the 3,000-meter run, crossing the finish line in 10:11.13; she broke Sauder's two-year-old record from 2023 by eight seconds.
Emily McCreary earned a podium finish with a third-place showing in the high jump (5-2.25), and Lanae Crowe grabbed seventh in the weight throw (46-4) and 10th in the shot put (35-5.75).
Morgan Welch finished 15th in the 800 (2:27.45) and 22nd in the mile (5:29.04), and Eliza Pycraft was 19th in the 800 (2:33.20).
On the men's side, Logan Clark ended in the ninth place in the 600 (1:29.20), and Michael Muiruri leaped to a seventh-place showing in the triple jump at 44-1.25.
Brock Lengacher produced two top-10 showings, including fifth in the shot put (44-10.75) and ninth in the weight throw (46-8.25).
Brady Hunsberger ended in 14th in the 800 (1:56.07) and 15th in the mile run at 4:16.42, and Connor Etchison placed 10th in the weight throw (39-7.25) and 13th in the shot put (40-2.75).
"For our second indoor meet of the year, our goal was progress. Progress can be found in both running faster or going farther, or it can be found in learning and applying a lesson from each performance," said Grace head coach Brian Dewey. "The conference meet is three weeks away, and we are looking forward to getting more work in so we can compete at a high level."
The Lancers have one regular season indoor meet remaining — the Wildcat Invite in Marion, Ind., on Feb. 1.
