LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Lipscomb's men's and women's track & field programs both finished second overall at the Bellarmine Classic Friday following impressive performances from the squads. The Bisons put on a show for Louisville as they collected four first-place finishes, a pair of program records, twenty-one personal bests, and a facility record at the meet.

For the women's team, the Bisons collected 31 top-10 finishes, 17 top-5 finishes, and earned spots on the podium 12 times to total 131.5 points at the one-day meet.

These numbers include a podium sweep in the women's mile run with Kiara Carter (4:55.01), Mackenzie Barnett (4:55.59), and Sydney Liddle (4:56.59) taking first, second, and third respectively.

Continuing the success for the long-distance squad, Colbi Borland and Lydia Miller earned personal bests as well as first and second in the women's 3000m invite event with times of 9:34.25 and 9:42.12.  

Freshman Bella Jackson led the Bisons in the 60m hurdles to finish third (9.21) while Kendall Long earned fourth in the 400m dash with a time of 58.38. Ashlyn Liddle earned her first top-5 finish with a fifth-place finish in the women's 800m run at 2:20.10.

Senior Hanna Anderson set the program's first new 200m dash record since 2018 with a time of 25.66 to earn sixth overall. Her time replaces Friederike Mattes' previous record setting time of 25.73 from the 2018 ASUN Indoor Championship.

For the men's team, the Bisons earned 22 top-10 finishes, 16 top-5 finishes, and 12 podium appearances for a total of 113 points at the meet.

Senior Jonathan Schwind smashed the men's program record and set a new facility record for the Norton Center in the men's mile with a blazing time of 4:03.61 to earn first in the event. He was accompanied by Brady Johnson whose time of 4:07.26 also broke the former program record of 4:07.62, set by Schwind at the 2021 ASUN Indoor Championship.

Schwind and Johnson were accompanied in the top-5 by Cole Streich in third (4:15.09) and Bing Hudson in fourth (4:17.93). Brian Risse, Sam Shaylor, and Ben Ruffing claimed second, third, and fourth place in the men's 3000m run to earn the Bisons some big points from their distance squad.

The Bisons went on to dominate the podium for the men's 200m dash as Jonathan Imes took first (21.47), Demontae Wilson finished second (22.16), and Alex Tirado placed third (22.21).

Other top-5 finishes for the men's squad included Dimitri Kemp's third place in the long jump at 6.46m (21' 2.5"), Malik Baker's third-place finish in the 60m hurdles, and Ahmed Amaar and Demontae Wilson's third and fourth place finishes in the 60m dash. Alex Tirado earned himself a new personal best with a time of 50.57 as he finished fifth in the 400m dash.
