PUEBLO, COLORADO – A storybook collegiate career for Collinique Farrington concluded with a national title. The Southwest Baptist Bearcats senior clocked 51.63 seconds to win the 400m national title at the NCAA Division II Championships in Pueblo, Colorado. It was Farrington’s first national title and the first for the program since 2017.

Near an hour later, she returned to the track to finish second in the 200m in 22.83 seconds, earning her fifth All-American award. She also set new program records in both events.

Farrington and Stephaniqué Dean led the Bearcats’ 4x400m team to a sixth-place finish in 3:34.42 seconds, a new school record.

At the meet, Lincoln University sophomore Clinton Laguerre finished sixth in the 400mH with a new personal best of 50.70 seconds. He was also a member of the 4x400m team that finished second in 3:05.23 seconds.

Minnesota State Moorhead junior sprinter Shavantae Roberts earned her second All-America nod of the season when she finished 11th overall in the preliminaries of the 100m in 11.44 seconds. Her junior season also included program records in the indoor 60m and 200m as well as the outdoor 100m.

Michael Cartwright and his University of Mary Marauders 4x100m team became the first All-American relay team in program history, finishing sixth in 40.08 seconds.
