Lipscomb track and field will compete in this weekend's Hoosier Hills Invite, hosted by Indiana University, in the final tune-up before the Bison and Lady Bison track and field athletes compete in the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships, Feb. 17-18 in Johnson City.

Lipscomb head coach Bill Taylor has built the Bison program into one of the top in the Southeast. Before coming to Lipscomb, he created a program from scratch at Northwest (Wash.) University and won a national championship in women's cross country.

Lipscomb track and field ended a long weekend, Sunday, at the TSU Invite. Freshmen Houston Ward and April Terry had big days in the shot put and hammer throw, and the Lipscomb men and women distance medley relay teams won their respective events.

More records fell on Day Two of the ETSU Niswonger Invitational, Saturday, in Johnson City. Sophomore Tucker Peabody had the day's biggest highlight, winning the 200m dash final and lowering his school record in the event to 21.28s.

Sophomore Tucker Peabody set two of the four school records the Lipscomb track and field team broke, Friday, at the ETSU Niswonger Invitational. Freshmen Matthew Deery (60m hurdles) and Colin Dempster (400m dash) also set Lipscomb records.

After a weekend away from competition, Lipscomb track and field gets back underway at two competitions this weekend. Friday and Saturday, the Bison will be at ETSU and the Niswonger Invitational, and will be in Nashville, Sunday, for the TSU Invite.

Lipscomb junior Taylor Mason is an anomaly in the track and field world. She didn't start competing in the throws (javelin, shot put) until she joined the Lipscomb track and field team in 2010.

Lead by sophomore Tucker Peabody, freshman Colin Dempster and junior Ryan Whitley, Lipscomb showed toughness and determination on day two of the SIU Saluki Booster, Saturday.

Freshman April Terry added to her school weight throw record and pole vaulter Matthew Deery put together a runner-up finish in his first collegiate pole vault event on Day One at the Saluki Booster, Friday.

Highlighted by very good performances from the sprint teams, Lipscomb track and field came back from the Christmas break with a strong day at Saturday's Ed Temple Classic, hosted by Tennessee State.
