BOLIVAR, Mo. – Harry Mitchell of Maryville Track & Field made it a clean sweep of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Freshman of the Year award, earned outdoor honors after earning the accolade in the indoor season. That was the biggest highlight of the Saints' stay in Bolivar, Mo., on the campus of Southwest Baptist for the GLVC Outdoor Championships.
 
Both squads finished seventh in the team standings, with the men's team earning 45 points and the women's squad amassing 47. Lewis grabbed the crown on the women's side while Indianapolis earned it on the men's side.
 
MEN'S NOTABLES
Mitchell was the only Saint to garner first in an event, with the freshman tallying wins in the 200 and the 400 meter. The men's side also saw the 4x400 relay team of Bryson Pickard, Mitchell, Deontae Anthony and Landon Oxford combine for second place, snapping the school record as well.
 
Relays continued to be a strong suit for the men's squad, with the 4x100 of Giovanni Jones, Jayden Atkins, Brendon Hoyte and Mitchell placed third.

Hilton also went on to snag third in the 400 meter hurdles with a 53.01, hitting an NCAA Provisional Mark in the process. Not only did he place third, he also ran the fastest 400 hurdles in school history.

Pickard's fourth in the 400-meter rounded out the point scorers for the Saints as Maryville finished seventh with 45 points scored.
