Trojan Sophomore Breanna Newton turned in a gutsy performance to qualify for the NAIA National meet in the 1000 meter run. The HLG men and women traveled to Central College in Pella, IA for the Dutch Athletic classic, where Newton dominated the 1000 meter race. Breanna led the race from the start, clocking a time of 3:03.97. Breanna will be heading to the NAIA National Championship Meet in Geneva, OH March 1-3.
Congratulation Breanna, we look forward to some great results in Ohio!

Trojans Off To a Good Start For Indoor Season
The Trojan men and women are off to a great start for the 2012 indoor track and field season. After competing in four meets to date the Trojans have had some great performances.
For the first meet back after Christmas break, the team traveled to the University of Illinois to take on some challenging Division I competition. Philiph Tonui set a new school record in the 3000 meter run with a time of 8:52, falling six seconds short of qualifying for the National meet. Fellow Trojan Ethan Huff had a great return from the break as well, clocking personal bests in both the 400 and 200 meter runs.
Next, the team went to the Goldstein Invitational hosted by the University of Indiana. Sophomore Breanna Newton broke school records in both the 800 meter and mile run, improving her mile time by four seconds. Ethan Huff also set a new school record in the 600 meter run with a time of 1:25.37, just three seconds off of qualifying for the National meet. Zach Lewis opened his indoor season with a strong 800 meter run with a time of 2:00. Finally, John Anderson conditionally qualified for the NAIA National meet in the Heptathlon.
Look for the Trojan men and women to continue to improve throughout this indoor season, breaking more records and qualifying more athletes for the National meet!
