Krystahl Gordon (Fredriksted, V.I./Saint Croix Edu Complex) etched her name into the Lincoln University women's track and field record book at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Indoor Track and Field Championships, breaking the school indoor record for the triple jump and leading the Lions to a seventh place finish at the meet, the best finish since 2017.
