[April 19, 2018]    The weather finally cooperated just enough for the Lincoln College Men’s and Women’s track and field teams to compete in their first outdoor event of the season last weekend at the very competitive Greenville University Select Meet.

 

Cold temperatures were issue for many of the events as the women’s team placed 12th and the men’s team was 14th out of 17 schools represented.

Sophomore Carrisa Tinsley (Colfax) had a strong meet for the women’s team. Tinsley placed 8th in the hammer throw, 2nd in the javelin, and 5th in the shot. Freshman April Goetz (Auburn) came in 4th in the 5,000 Meter event.

Placing for the men’s team was freshman Cameron Harris (Belleville) in the triple jump (6th). The men’s 4x100 relay team of Kane Jackson, Desmond Berdell, Josh Turner and Rodman Teltull placed 4th.

LC Coach Brian Herron said, “It was good to finally get a meet under our belts. It was very obvious that we were a little rusty. Even though we did not place as high as we wanted in several events our times and marks were not far off of where I thought we would be. This was a huge meet with very deep fields. This meet will help us a lot as we move into the heart of our schedule and better weather.”

The Lynx will be in action again this Saturday at the University of Dubuque. The meet will start Friday with the javelin. The remainder of the meet will be Saturday starting at 9 am.
