Year in Review: 2016 LWC Men's Track & Field By Charlie Balcom The highest finish in program history at the NAIA Outdoor National Championships was one of many highlights during another successful season for the Lindsey Wilson men's track & field program in 2016. As a team, the Blue Raiders accumulated 26 total team points to sit one spot and one point outside of a top-10 finish at the NAIA Outdoor Championships in 11th place, the highest finish ever at a national championship event for a Blue Raider track & field team. At the outdoor national event, Lindsey Wilson had a relay team finish as the national runner-up. The 4x100 meter squad of Holt Keeling, Dondre Mimms, Kevin Hallmon and Austin Hayes raced their way to a time of 40.70 seconds, trailing only the national championship-winning time of 40.17 seconds. Each relay member earned NAIA All-American honors and will go down as the first Blue Raider relay team to earn All-American honors in school history. Desmond Mobley concluded his remarkable season as the national runner-up in the long jump event at the outdoor championships. His distance of 7.62 meters fell .04 meters shy of the winning distance in the event, earning All-American honors in the process. Mimms added an individual All-American honor after he took fifth in the 200 meter dash, while Dante Johnson collected the second NAIA Outdoor All-American honor of his career for his third-place finish in the 400 meter hurdles, breaking his own school record in the process. Prior to the success on the national level, Lindsey Wilson captured the Mid-South Conference Championship for the second season in a row in 2016. The Blue Raiders racked up 282 total team points to top the second-place team by nearly 50 points as they continued to break and set program records. Lindsey Wilson won 12 total events at the conference meet, earning First Team All-MSC honors for each victory. The individual wins came from Hallmon, Mimms, John-Paul Williamson, Johnson, Mobley, Tylor Pinkard and Ben Graham, while Christian Davis, Mimms, Hallmon and Keeling teamed up to win the 4x100 meter relay. The Blue Raiders added five Second Team All-MSC honors from Hayes, Hallmon, Cameron Murphy, Jonah Quire and Anthony Thompson. During the indoor season, four student-athletes earned NAIA All-American honors. Graham took third in the 3,000 meter race walk, Williamson took fifth in the 3,000 meter run, Johnson grabbed sixth in the 60 meter hurdles and Thompson finished seventh in the triple jump in his first appearance at the national championships. The record-setting season saw Mobley sweep all five MSC Field Athlete of the Week honors, while Hallmon, Johnson and Mimms each picked up MSC Track Athlete of the Week accolades. Johnson was even named the NAIA Track Athlete of the Week once during the season, becoming the first Blue Raider in program history to earn the distinction. Lindsey Wilson was ranked as high as No. 7 during the year in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association National Team Computer Rankings system. In the classroom, both Williamson and Graham were named to the 2016 College Sports Information Directors of America All-District Men's Track & Field/Cross Country College Division District 2 team, and Williamson went on to earn College Division Second Team honors. Ryan Cole earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors for the second year in a row and he joined Graham, Hayes, Ben Hoffman, Andrew Morgan, Austin Sparrow and Williamson as Academic All-MSC honorees.
