(Angola, IN) - The Women's Indoor Track and Field team competed at the WHAC Conference Championship Meet on Saturday. The meet was held at Trine University in Angola, Indiana. The Lady Cards top performer was, freshmen, Michele LaGrand. LaGrand ranPRs (personal records) in both the 60 meter and 200 meter dashes, as well as breaking her previously held school records in both events. Her 60 meter time was 8.04. In the 200 meter she shattered her old record by almost 4 tenths of a second, which is huge in the 200, running a 26.65. "Michele was a powerhouse today," said Coach Steve Montgomery. "She came out of the starting blocks really strong in the 200 and never backed down. "Her 60 got off to a bit of a shaky start, but she persevered and ran an excellent time," he added.

Also competing in the 60 meter and 200 meter was junior, Brenda Hawkins, who, like LaGrand ran PRs in both events. "Brenda has been improving with every race she runs," said Montgomery. "I'm looking forward to see what she can do as we go forward into Outdoor Track Season," he added.

Competing in the distance events were senior, Maggie Harris, sophomore, Molly Rathje, and freshmen, Leigh McRobbie. Freshmen, Joy Orr competed in the 400 meter.

Harris and Hawkins were both named to the All-Academic Team, while LaGrand was named to the Champions-of-Character Team. "I am very proud of these ladies for their academic achievements as well as their contributions toward the fine character this team possesses," Montgomery stated.

With the Indoor Track Season now concluded, the team is looking forward to Outdoor Track Season, with the first meet on March 31, 2012, at University of Toledo.
