SAN ANGELO, Texas - The Lubbock Christian Track & Field program wrapped up the 2024 Lone Star Conference Outdoor Championships Saturday evening. LCU took home four gold medals at the meet, as the men's team finished in fifth place and the women placed eighth. 

Senior Bryce Spencer took home two gold medals for the Chaps, winning the men's discus and hammer throw. In the discus, Spencer recorded a mark of 54.76 meters to finish first. He threw 61.35 meters in the hammer throw to claim his second gold medal of the meet. Spencer has top-10 national marks in both events this season. 

After finishing second in the men's 400 at last season's outdoor conference championships, George Garcia returned this year determined to win the gold. And he did just that, running a 47.12 to finish first. Garcia currently has the fifth fastest time in the nation in the event.

On the women's side, Olivia Weider claimed the only gold medal for the Lady Chaps. Weider ran a 11:08.13 in the 3,000 meter steeplechase, beating the second place finisher by over 10 seconds. 

Anna Salisbury also put together a noteworthy performance for the Lady Chaps, setting a new school record in the 400 meter dash with a time of 53.28. She finished fourth in the event, but the time would rank her among the top-5 times in the nation this season.
