WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Lenoir-Rhyne Men’s and Women’s Track & Field teams opened their indoor season at the Winston-Salem College Kickoff on Saturday,

In total three athletes hit NCAA DII provisional marks, two on the men’s side and one on the women’s. Sophomore Havyn Spain, fresh off an outdoor nationals appearance in the 400, ran a blistering 21.33 in the 200m to take fourth overall and first out of all DII finishers. His time is the third fasted time in DII this year and doubles as the third fastest indoor 200m time in program history. Fellow sophomore Antonyio Davis set a new personal best in the 60m with a time of 8.13, which ranks 17th in DII and third all-time in program history. 

Competing for the first time in a Bear uniform, junior transfer Mackenzie Pringle has already stamped her name in the Bear record books. Her triple jump mark of 11.89m (39-0.25) not only hit the NCAA DII provo mark, but also ranks second all time in Lenoir-Rhyne history. 

“I thought our kids competed really well. We had a ton of lifetime bests, and over a dozen LR Top-10 all time performances,” said Director of Track & Field Bob Braman. “Our stars really competed well. Both Sharonda Priester and Mackenzie Pringle had double Top-3 LR all-time performances, and Antonyio Davis and Havyn Spain dropped LR Top 3 all-time races. Those four led the way with performances just shy of likely national qualifying marks. Overall I’m pleased and surprised at how ready most of our athletes were for such an early meet.”

The Nittany Lions close the season at 19-13 overall, while the Longhorns move on with a record of 25-3.

She leaves Penn State as a two-time All-Big Ten honoree, making the first team this season and the second team as a junior last season. She now turns her attention to the pro ranks, where she will play for the San Diego Mojo of Major League Volleyball. Grimes was recently picked by the Mojo in the third round of the MLV Draft.

Torrey Stafford led Texas to the win, hitting .556 with 21 kills. Abby Vander Wal joined her in double-digits with 10 kills, while Cari Spears was next with nine.

Penn State now holds an 11-10 lead in the all-time series with Texas. The teams are knotted at 2-2 in NCAA Tournament matchups against each other.
