Marion, Ind. – One day following his championship in the men’s high jump, senior Antowine Lamb was named to the NAIA All-American team. Junior Mitch Krier was the only Bulldog to compete in day three of the national meet held at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Ind.
Lamb’s selection to the NAIA All-American team marks the first in his career and adds another individual to a successful year in McPherson College athletics.
Krier, a junior from Colorado, competed Saturday in the men’s pole vault, but failed to place in the event. After passing on the first two heights, 4.70m (15’-5”) and 4.85m (15’-11”), he knocked the bar on his three attempts at 5.00m (16’-4.75”). A clearance at 5.00m would have placed Krier within the top four. Freshman Stefanos Koufidis of Culver-Stockton College successfully defended his NAIA Indoor Championship with the outdoor title. He was the lone athlete to clear the 5.15m (16’-10.75”) mark.
As a team the McPherson men finished 31st of 68 school, but did not place on the women’s side. The women’s team champions, Azusa Pacific University scored 61 points, while men’s champion Wayland Baptist University tallied 70 points.
