Lincoln University Athletics

In 1993 The Lincoln University women's track and field program became just the third NCAA Division III institution in history of the women's track and field championships to capture both the indoor and outdoor championships in the same season.  The Lions' 36 points in the indoor championship meet, outpaced second place Wisconsin-Lacrosse by nine.   Narissa Crosson, a 2018 Hall of Fame inductee captured the Lions' only individual title, winning the 800 meter run.  The Lions supplemented Crosson's showing with points from Kelly Ross (second place in the 55-meter hurdles), Shawna Hardy (third in the 400-meter dash), Courtney Washington (fourth in the 400-meter dash) and its 1,600-meter-relay team, which placed second.  Hardy went on to win both the 100 and 200 meter titles in the outdoor championship later that year as the Lions again defeated UW-Lacrosse 57-52. Crosson placed second in the 800 and fourth in 400 meter dash while Ross again scored in the hurdles.  Lincoln's relay teams brought home a silver (4 x100) and gold (4x400) medals.
