Our Saints had another great meet competing at the Rich Allen Classic in Newberg, Oregon this past weekend. The women's team was led by Kailey Biggs who earned a personal record in two events and ran a leg on the 4x100 team that qualified for the NWAC Track and Field Championships. Biggs dropped 1.5 seconds off her personal best in the 100 meters (13.41) and then ran a 27.14 in the 200 meters for a second-place finish. Along with Biggs, Kennedi Thurman, Nichole Champion and Andrea Bojdan, the 4 x100 meter relay team ran a 52.22 to qualify for the Championships. Grace Lam-Tiang also had a bid day with a personal best in the javelin (130'7) for second place and a finished fourth in the discus.
The men's team was led by Deghlan Johnson and Elias Martinez. Johnson rand a 15.16 in the 110 meter hurdles and was named the NWAC Men’s Track Athlete of the Week. Martinez hit a 26’ personal best in the hammer and is currently ranked fourth in the conference.
The Saints will return to action on March 25 at the Willamette Invitational.
