Hey Lancers,
Sorry for not keeping you updated with the Lancer track and
field news as diligently I as have been in the past. My training and school
work have been taking up my time a lot
more than I expected. The life of a student athlete.
So it is official. The women's
team won their 4th straight title. For those counting back home that is 11 out
of the last 32 years a women's championship has been offered. So 1/3 off all
the wins are hanging up in the St. Denis center's rafters. Fellow Lancer Celine
Freeman-Gibb (http://theindoorworldofthrowing.blogspot.com/)
won the women's shot put title and Aaron Bowman came 2nd in the 60m men's final
with his second fastest time of 6.74.
On the down side the Men's team
came 3rd with 17 points behind the Western Mustangs. Unable to come back from
the losses the Men's team had one of their lowest scoring point totals in the
last ten years.
My race did not go as planned and
I was unable to make it into the final. I cam 9th and top 8 scored points for
the team. I was disappointed in my performance but couldn't be happier with how
the team and rookies performed. I know you can't PB every meet but sometimes
you just want to go for the win. After my race my job was to cheer and support.
If my voice wasnt toast after the meet then I didnt cheer enough and I am still
unable to speak properly.
There are a lot of other results
to be posted so stay tuned as I try and post as much as I can. Videos and
pictures to come.
Great Job Lancers,
Austin Roth
