LEXINGTON, Va. - The Shenandoah University indoor track and field teams traveled to the VMI Winter Classic on Saturday, hosted by Virginia Military Institute.

Mekhi Mims broke the school record for men's high jump for the second time this year after clearing 1.94m. Mims' broke his own school record, which was set at the Kaye & JJ Smith Invitational back in January.

Ethan Harrower won the men's 5,000m with a time of 15:46.98 as Caleb Beiswenger moved into sixth all-time for SU in the same event with his mark of 15:54.54 to place second. The duo, along with Kyle Corpin and Wyatt Newcome, also won the distance medley relay.

Newcome and William Crowder each moved up in the SU men's record book with times in the men's 200m. Newcome now sits eighth all-time after crossing the finish line at 22.95 seconds as Crowder is now third all-time with a new PR of 22.40 seconds.

The same duo also had a good day in the 60m dash as Newcome cracked his way into the program's top 10 with a mark of 7.18 in the prelims. Crowder moved on to the finals and placed eighth after running a 7.03 in the finals.

In his first time competing in the men's triple jump, Jaimir Bailey is now 10th all-time for the men with a jump of 12.25m.

For the women, Alexis Hubbard set two PRs today. In the prelims of the 60m dash, Hubbard ran an 8.14 which is the fifth-best all-time mark for the SU women, and also sits third all-time now in the 200m race. Hubbard finished in 27.06 seconds for the 200m.

Kailey Lamont is now 10th all-time for the SU women in the 5,000m with a time of 19:05.59, which is just over six seconds better than her previous best.
