Track & Field Shines at Vanderbilt Invitational

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb track & field completed a phenomenal weekend of competition at the Vanderbilt Invitational meet this weekend. The Bisons saw a slate of personal bests and four new program records – a 6.40m (21' 0") long jump from Aislinn McElhaney, a 56.44 400m Dash from Abigail Alvarado, an 8:06.84 3,000m run from Braedon Palmer, and a 3:47.67 women's 4x400m relay time from Abigail Alvarado, Kennedy Miller, Makayla Watson, and Aislinn McElhaney.
 
McElhaney's long jump record ranks her first in the ASUN and tied for eighth in the nation in the event while Palmer's time in the 3,000m ranks him fourth in the conference and 53rd in the nation.
 
The Bisons combined for 21 top-10 finishes including nine podium finishes and five first place finishes over the weekend.
 
On the field event side, McElhaney earned first place in the long jump invite with her 6.40m jump out of 26 competitors. The squad picked up a pair of fourth place finishes as Jaden Mathews logged a 5.81m (19' 0.75") long jump distance and Bella Jackson recorded a 1.74m (5' 8.5") height in the high jump invite.
 
In the track events, James Schmidt earned the squad's first place finish in the men's mile run with a time of 4:03.07. Kiara Carter claimed the squad's next first place finish in the women's 3,000m with a time of 9:26.11.
 
The quartet of Bing Hudson, AJ Goecker, Daniel Winkelman, and Michael Polizzi claimed first place in the Distance Medley Relay with a blazing 9:57.08. Braedon Palmer brought home the fifth first place finish of the weekend in the men's 3,000m with a program-record-setting 8:06.84 in the event and was closely followed across the line by Brady Johnson in second place with a personal best time of 8:07.56.
 
Lipscomb's squad dominated in the women's mile run with three of the tpo-10 finishes as Mackenzie Barnett claimed seventh place (4:49.30), Sydney Liddle earned eighth place (4:49.69), and Mollie Longmire finished tenth (4:50.54).
 
Freshman Joe Kennedy recorded a pair of personal bests for the sprinters with a 7.06 in the men's 60m dash and a 22.06 in the men's 200m dash, a time which earned him tenth place overall in the event. Fellow freshman Braeden Ofosu-Kwarteng earned third place in the men's 400m dash with a 48.05 in the event.
