The Lindenwood track and field teams took small contingents on a short trip across the river to compete in the Principia Relays on Friday and Saturday night in Elsah, Illinois. The Lions came away with three first place finishes including a career best in the weight throw from Ashley Shoemake.  Shoemake's thrown of 15.64 meters was good enough to win the competition and moved her up to 5^th place in the school record books. On the men's side Jameel Walkes-Miller won the 60 meter race in a time of 6.88 seconds, which tied him for the 9^th fastest time in school history, while Logan Kulinski continued his impressive season with another NCAA provisional mark while winning the weight throw.
