MARION, Ind. - Grace's track and field teams divided its efforts between a pair of meets over the weekend.

The Lancers sent a handful of athletes to Indiana Tech on Friday with the majority of the squad competing at Indiana Wesleyan on Saturday.

Grace had a strong showing, lowering two school records and hitting a pair of NAIA standards.

At Indiana Tech, a quartet of women hit an NAIA "A" standard. Morgan Welch, Cadence Manning, Cece Mitchell and Cherish Ray ran the 4x800-meter relay in a time of 9:29.48 to reach the NAIA "A" mark.

The men's crew of Brady Hunsberger, Ty McPhatter, Caleb Nichols and Reid Sollars placed eighth in the 4x800 relay (7:57.76).

At Indiana Wesleyan, Mick Wright continued to lower the 60-meter dash school record. He beat his previous mark from this year by nearly a tenth of a second, setting the new school record at 6.82 seconds (in the preliminary race). Wright went on to place second in the meet with a time of 6.84 in the finals.

Caleb Nichols was also runner-up in his event, running 1:57.00 in the 800.

Michael Muiruri continued the trend with a second-place finish in the triple jump (44-feet-9). Zach Vonk was seventh in the competition (38-4).

The men's 4x400 relay team of Logan Clark, Jackson Winey, Wright and Ethan Cummins earned sixth place (3:32.36).

Hunsberger placed seventh in the 1,000 (2:32.27). A trio of Lancers also finished ninth, including Blake McCoy in the high jump (6-0.5), Luke Mansfield (21-1.25) in the long jump, and Ethan Cummins in the 60 dash (7.07).

On the women's side, Lani Calizo etched her name atop the school record in the high jump. She cleared 5 feet, 3.25 inches to break a three-way tie she previously held for the school record (Sabrina Whitaker, 2013; Emily McCreary, 2024).

The women grabbed third place in two relay events. Manning, Welch, Ray and Kila Foster produced third place in the distance medley relay (12.31.87); Sophie Rupp, Foster, Addie Gustus and Elyse Genzink placed the same in the 4x400 (4:15.39). The women's DMR hit an NAIA "B" standard in the process.

Mitchell was runner-up in the 3,000 at 10:23.55. Grace Pettit finished fifth in the race (10:45.37), and Grace Geller was seventh (10:47.05).

Welch earned sixth place in the 1,000 at 3:05.04, and Molly Hofmann seized eighth in the high jump (4-11.5).

Makayla Neal was ninth in the long jump (15-8.75), and Rupp collected 10th place in the 400 (1:02.84).

The Lancers will turn their attention next to the postseason for the indoor season. Grace will return to Marion, Ind., and battle at the 2026 Crossroads League Championships on Feb. 20-21. The indoor campaign ends at the NAIA Indoor Championships in Gainesville, Fla., beginning March 5.
