Here's a recap of the action at last month's championships held at Baldwin Wallace College (Ohio). nn mi I I ? ? ? Men's Events While the team title slipped away from the Lions, they did make some noise on the oval, winning two individual events and^ both relays. Clive Tferrelonge emerged as^P1 double winner in the 400 and 800. In the two-lap race, Terrelonge won comfortably at 1:47.56, setting a new national record in the process. Terrelonge broke the previous mark of 1:4930, set in '85 by Max Harn of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. This race was never really in doubt. Terre longe's closest challenger was second-place finisher Howard Seller of Albany (NY) who clocked 1:50.28. The 400, however, was more closely contested. Terrelonge hit the tape at 47.28 to win his duel with Mike Kelly of Simpson coming in second at 47.69. Lincoln's hope to capture the 100 rest ed on the shoulders of Brandon Jones and Jones gave it his best shot Jones battled Frostburg State's Jennaine McDougal from start to finish. But in the end, McDougal prevailed with a 10.78 while Jones finished second at 10.83. The Lions picked up additional points . with two people placing in the 110 high Whitsett was the highest fin ""^Rn^Sth at 14.56), followed by Shan non Flowers (sixth at 14.82). Keith Falcon er placed sixth in the 400 intermediate hur dles (53.59) and Lincoln Townsend con tributed an eighth place finish in the 200 (22.17) to add to LlTs total. But when it came to the relays, the Lions roared to victories on both occasions. But in neither race did they win by a sub stantial margin. In the 4 x 100, handy stickwork by Jones, Townsend, Shawn Clements and Jerome Johnson, enabled the Lions to win in 41.05. Wisconsin-La Crosse stayed right in the hunt, but LU kept them at a distance. WLA placed second at 41 26. The 4 x 400 held more of the same thrills, especially toward the late stages of the race. Lincoln (Rodney Moore, Townsend, Falconer and Terrelonge) won the battle over North Central. The Lions foursome clocked 3:10.47 and North Cen tral was No. 2 at 3:11.96. Women's Events Lincoln's ladies emerged as the No. 5 team in the final standings with 35 points thanks to a very credible showing in the sprints. Alondra Woodard led the way by win ning the 100 in 12.45, besting Principia's Ngozi Mwanamwambwa by a half-step at the finish line (12.51). Woodard also placed fourth in the 200 (25.70) and teammate Annette Gray came in sixth with a 25.99.
