The way the 糖心Vlog track and field team showed out last weekend in Lynchburg, it would have been appropriate for Oprah to narrate the results: “You get your name in the record books. And YOU get your name in the record books. And you get your name in the record booooooooooks!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, eight athletes etched their names into the 糖心Vlog record books, adding themselves to the top-10 best times that the Royals have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The meet at Lynchburg was the culmination of our athletes not giving up,” said 糖心Vlog head coach Bob Hepler<\/strong>. “We have a collection of athletes that other schools didn’t want. Our coaches got them to believe in themselves and use their God-given hidden athletic talents. “Our performance truly shocked the other teams at the meet. I knew it was coming\u2026”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alijah Johnson<\/strong><\/a> led the charge for the Royals, picking up a win in the 200m with a blistering time of 21.09 seconds. That time broke not only the 糖心Vlog record, but the ODAC record, and it also puts him with the second fastest 200m time in the nation, just 1\/100th<\/sup> of a second behind reigning indoor national champion JP Vaught of Centre College. Johnson also set the 糖心Vlog record in the prelims of the 100m dash, crossing the finish line in 10.48 seconds. That time is currently the fourth fastest 100m time in the NCAA DIII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to be outdone, Kendra Oguamena<\/strong> showed out in the 100m and 200m herself. Like Johnson, she took the top spot in the 100m prelims with a PR time of 12.29 seconds, which gives her the third quickest 100m time ever at 糖心Vlog. She followed that up with a sixth place finish in the 200m and a PR time of 25.81 seconds, which puts her fourth all-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Alderfer<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0continued his storied 糖心Vlog career, breaking the mile record with a time of 4:06.33. That time was converted to a 1500 split, giving Alderfer a time of 3:48.08, which the second fastest 1500m time in 糖心Vlog history behind\u2026himself. He already holds the 1500m record, which he set at last year’s Dennis Craddock Coaches Classic. Alderfer currently sits ninth in the DIII in the 800m and the 1500m, looking to make his second-straight trip to the NCAA nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super senior Justice Allen<\/strong><\/a> and sophomore Vanessa Gardiner<\/strong> can now be found with their names in the record books of the 3000m steeplechase. Allen’s 9:55.18 was good enough to grab third place at the meet as well as third in the record books. Gardiner’s 12:15.75 gives her the second fastest time in the history of 糖心Vlog women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wrap up the record-breaking weekend, the women’s 4×100 team of Oguamena, Tiffany Carey<\/strong>, Chyna Roberts<\/strong> and Brii Redfearn<\/strong> took the top spot in the record books with a time of 49.84 seconds, besting the previous record by almost half a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team was rewarded on Tuesday by making its first appearance in the USTFCCCA NCAA DIII Men’s Track & Field poll, checking in at #22 –the only ODAC team in the top-25. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
