LCHS athletes have a great showing at the 2024 Illinois Top Times Indoor Meet
Becca Heitzig wins both the 800m and the 1600m

Saturday, March 23, 2024 was a terrific day for LCHS track athletes at the Illinois Top Times Indoor Track & Field Classic at Illinois Wesleyan University.

Nobody from Lincoln, however, had a better day on the track than senior elite track star, Becca Heitzig.

Heitzig won the 2A 800m with a time of 2:12.86 and then turned around to win the 1600m with a time of 5:04.13.

Iowa State University is getting the best of the best next season when Heitzig arrives on campus at Ames, Iowa!

The other guys:

A handful of LCHS male athletes competed Saturday at IWU and they also did outstanding on the track.

Senior Ben Crombie finished in 4th place in the 800m with a time of 2:00.40.

Junior Parker Campbell finished in 6th place in the 60m hurdles with a mark of 8.52.

The 4x400m relay team of Braxton Eilertson, Luke Jones, Ben Crombie and Kani Carson finished in 5th place with a time of 3:34.30.

Congratulations to all the athletes!
