His shot 45' 5.75 placed him third overall and missed the MHC record by a mere six inches. Deandre Vines won the men's 200 meters with a time of 22.74 just missing the MHC school record. This was a huge win by Vines as Western Carolina University's sprint team is very strong.

Justin Gragg finished fourth overall in the 3000 meters with a time of 9:00.78. That is a very fast time for his Gragg's meet of the season.

The Lions' next meet will be on January 25 at the USC Indoor meet in Columbia, S.C. The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.
