The Lincoln College track and field team was back in action laat weekend at the University of Dubuque Invite. The men’s and women’s teams both placed 8th out of 13 teams represented.

Placing for the men’s team was Kane Jackson in the 100 (1st) and the 200 (5th). Josh Turner was also 5th in the 100. In the 400 meter race, Christian Raymond came in 6th and Abdoulaye Diawara finished 8th. The 4x100 relay team of Alexze Whatley, Eric Thomas, Rashawn Hall and Corey Abbey came in 7th.

Eric Thomas was 6th in the trile jump and Jarod Folies was 8th in the javelin.

Placing for the ladies team was April Goetz in the 5K (3rd). Carrissa Tinsley took 3rd in the shot while Bralon Mack finished 8th in the same event. Tinsley also placed 6th in the hammer and 2nd in the javelin. Brianna Neal placed 8th in the javelin.

LC Track Coach Brian Herron said, “This was a better meet for us as a whole. We are finally starting to find our rhythm after our first two meets were cancelled because of weather.  A lot about track is about timing and repetition and we are just now getting into that phase of the season. We had several personal records at this meet and today was still a cold day. This should really set us up for some better performances as we move into the later part of our season.”

The Lynx will compete next this coming Friday at the True Blue Twilight meet hosted by Illinois College. The meet will start at 3 pm.
