Lipscomb Track & Field split squads once again over the weekend of April 16–18, competing at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif., and the Georgia Tech Invitational in Atlanta, Ga. The Bisons turned in a strong weekend highlighted by elite distance performances on the West Coast and standout marks across sprints, hurdles, and relays in Atlanta.

At the Bryan Clay Invitational, Lipscomb competed against one of the deepest distance fields in the country and produced several strong performances. Max Hooper led the way in the men's 1500m, running 3:41.20, while William Goodrich followed with a 3:44.41 effort.

In the longer distances, Chase Atkins posted a strong 29:44.86 in the men's 10,000m. On the women's side, Mia Bergman ran 16:42.99 in the 5000m before returning to compete in the 1500m, where she clocked 4:27.99. Liza Corso led the women's 1500m group with a 4:20.19 performance, while Will Jefferson added a 14:22.78 effort in the men's 5000m.

Back east at Georgia Tech, Lipscomb saw several standout performances, led by the hurdles group and distance crew.

KeShawn Allen delivered one of the top performances of the weekend, winning the men's 110m hurdles in 13.87. The time ranks as the second-fastest in Lipscomb program history and currently sits atop the ASUN this season. Allen also added a personal-best 54.64 in the 400m hurdles, a mark that ranks among the top times in the conference.

On the women's side, Hannah Wright led the hurdle group with a 14.00 performance in the 100m hurdles, while Regan Watts followed with a 14.38 mark.

The distance group once again showed its depth in Atlanta. Linda Perez led the women's 1500m group with a 4:23.11, followed closely by Ellie Brewer and Matilda Cole. On the men's side, Trey Haralson paced the group with a 3:50.41 performance.

The steeplechase proved to be another strong event for the Bisons, as Leonie Saurer and Addi Greene placed second and third in the women's 3000m steeplechase, while Bing Hudson added a runner-up finish in the men's race with a time of 9:10.02.

In the sprints, Joel Nimoh led the men with a 10.66 in the 100m and a 21.44 in the 200m, while Savannah Nuetzel paced the women's 400m group with a 56.52 performance.

Relay action closed out the meet with strong performances across the board. The men's 4x100m relay ran 41.56, while the women's 4x100m team clocked 47.41. In the 4x400m relays, Lipscomb saw multiple squads compete, highlighted by a 3:52.33 performance from the women's A team and a 3:23.56 finish from the men's B squad.
